Abstract

This work aimed to analyse the diffusion of ISO 14001 certifications in Europe and among economic sectors and the use of the relative growth rate (RGR) as an alternative to evaluate the diffusion of certificates. It has been observed that the RGR of the diffusion of certification in Europe starts very high (0.41) and has narrowed to close to 0 in recent years. Thus, the shape of the diffusion curve for Europe shows that the region presents mature behaviour, where it has already reached a maximum level of ISO 14001 certificates. Among the countries, Italy obtained an RGR of 0.91 in 2001; for France and Romania, diffusion takes an S-shape. ISO 14001 certifications by economic sector showed that in Italy, only basic metal fabricated metal product sectors presented RGR
