Table 6.40 presents a cross Mediterranean analysis of the relative im-
portance attributed to different enabling actions that would support the
adoption of iso 21401. It reports the share of respondents in Slovenia,
Italy, Spain, and Greece who identify each action as extremely impor-
tant, alongside Chi-square tests assessing cross-country differences. In-
terpreted through Stern’s (2000, 2005) framework, the results provide in-
sight into how organisations across the Mediterranean perceive the con-
ditions required to enable environmentally significant organisational be-
haviour.
