Pursuing eco-innovation is a fashionable strategy for contemporary firms to both increase returns on investment and display their socio-ecological responsibility by increasing the quality of life through reducing the negative impact on the natural environment. Environmental innovativeness (El), the eco-innovation capacity, is therefore important. This review is a study on 40 articles to refine El at the firm level and synthesize the literature to find their determinants from a knowledge-based resource view. The results revealed important factors, for example, long-term-based eco-innovation orientation, environmental management beyond an EMS certificate, dynamic eco-capacity, green absorptive capacity, green adaptive capacity, research and development activities, external knowledge integration, and collaboration with appropriate partners in a strategic network based on the norm of reciprocity. An integrated conceptual model is proposed to demonstrate how the factors interact in the prediction for El. The findings identified some literature gaps, and several research questions are therefore suggested for future research. Crown Copyright (C) 2018 Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
