5. Discussion and implications
5.1. Implications and contributions to theory The theoretical framework for this study is valuable for extending our understanding of environmental management practices by empirically testing the environmental pressures–environmental innovation strategy–performance relationship from multiple perspectives. From the CT and DCV perspectives, this study offers unique theoretical arguments describing the relationship by considering the mediating effect of environmental innovation strategy and the moderating effect of marketing capability. In essence, the mediation and moderation is verified empirically by using the multiple perspectives.
