abstract = {This paper examines the UK and Irish Environmental
Protection Agencies (EPAs) ability to move beyond regulatory
compliance to support and promote sustainable environmental
innovation, in short “eco-innovation”. To do so would
require them to overcome the perception that they face,
often being perceived as ‘policemen’ by the regulated
business community. We propose a new empirically-derived
theoretical construct called Voluntary Reciprocal Legitimacy
(VRL), defined as the development of mutual trust between
the regulator and business resulting in arrangements which
generate eco-innovation benefits for the regulator, the
regulated business communities and society at large. VRL
adds a new category to Suchman's (1995) theory of moral
legitimacy as well as highlights how EPAs can build trust
between themselves and regulated business, allowing a shift
of the ‘beyond compliance’ legislative boundary. Such an
approach supports eco-innovation whilst simultaneously
protecting the natural environment.},
