在本文中，我们描述了关于气候变化对德国中部化学工业企业创新间接影响的多个案例研究的结果。我们调查在这种背景下对企业提出的要求，以及企业层面创新过程的来源、结果和决定因素。我们认为，气候变化通过各种渠道推动企业创新。主要发现是能源价格上涨是企业生产过程中增量能源效率创新的关键驱动力。对于产品创新，客户要求是主要驱动力，尽管这些要求通常与气候问题没有直接关系。环境和能源管理体系的引入或扩展以及这些体系的认证是组织创新的最常见形式。出于营销目的，迄今为止几乎没有利用气候变化这一主题。作为企业气候创新、企业结构和产品组合灵活性的最重要决定因素，环境监管和政府资助方面的政治不对称性被确定。
In this article, we describe the results of a multiple case study on the indirect corporate innovation impact of climate change in the Central German chemical industry. We investigate the demands imposed on enterprises in this context as well as the sources, outcomes and determining factors in the innovative process at the corporate level. We argue that climate change drives corporate innovations through various channels. A main finding is that rising energy prices were a key driver for incremental energy efficiency innovations in the enterprises' production processes. For product innovation, customer requests were a main driver, though often these requests are not directly related to climate issues. The introduction or extension of environmental and energy management systems as well as the certification of these are the most common forms of organizational innovations. For marketing purposes, the topic of climate change was hardly utilized so far. As the most important determinants for corporate climate innovations, corporate structure and flexibility of the product portfolio, political asymmetry regarding environmental regulation and governmental funding were identified.
