      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.},
