Globally there is mounting pressure for firms to assess their impact on the environment, and to modify their behaviour accordingly. The small and medium enterprise (SME) sector is often described as 'hard to reach' and lagging behind in terms of 'green business' due to management and resourcing issues characteristic of SMEs (e. g. resource poverty and a lack of management capability). This absence of resource slack then translates into an unwillingness and/or inability to commit to environmental improvements in any systematic and ongoing fashion, if at all. However, a lack of action in the context of the firm does not always reflect the personal attitudes of the individual SME owner-managers. The link between attitude and action is explored in the paper through the examination of the interrelationship between awareness of environmental impact, attitude towards environmental issues, and environmental practice adoption.
