环境承诺是可持续发展的一个支柱，是许多学术研究的主题，通常是针对发达国家的大型企业。本文基于企业家形象的参考框架，从有利于可持续发展的公共政策角度，分析了法国和突尼斯两国背景下中小企业的环境承诺。演绎定性方法论基本上是基于对每个国家的12家中小企业进行的访谈分析。结果表明，中小企业环境承诺及其动机受到管理者创业特征、受教育程度、创新程度和社会网络整合程度的影响。比较分析显示了法国和突尼斯背景之间的趋同和分歧，特别是由于公共政策，这是国家文化的镜像。
A pillar of sustainable development (SD), environmental commitment is the subject of many academic studies often devoted to large enterprises located in developed countries. This article analyzes the environmental commitment of SMEs in terms of public policies in favor of SD in two national contexts, namely France and Tunisia, based on a frame of reference of entrepreneurs' profile. The deductive qualitative methodological approach is essentially based on analysis of interviews conducted in twelve SMEs in each country. The results show that the environmental commitment of SMEs and their motivations are influenced by the managers' entrepreneurial characteristics as well as their education level, degree of innovation and integration in social networks. The comparative analysis shows convergence and divergence between the French and Tunisian contexts, particularly because of public policy, a mirror image of national cultures.
