The current paper analyses the evaluation of the costs and benefits of French wineries (N=69) participating in the sustainability program Terra Vitis, a widespread environmental certification scheme within the French wine industry. Our findings reveal that cooperative wineries tend to be keener to assign a positive evaluation to the benefits/costs ratio in both the vineyard and the winery. The age of participation in the Terra Vitis scheme (over 5 years) and high export share (over 40% of annual turnover) also have a positive effect on perceptions in both areas of the firm. In the context of increasing concerns regarding the economic and environmental performance of the French agricultural sector, such findings could be useful for policy makers and entrepreneurs in defining mainstream normative and corporate strategies.

Abstract
The current paper analyses the evaluation of the costs and benefits of French wineries (N=69) participating in the sustainability program Terra Vitis, a widespread environmental certification scheme within the French wine industry. Our findings reveal that cooperative wineries tend to be keener to assign a positive evaluation to the benefits/costs ratio in both the vineyard and the winery. The age of participation in the Terra Vitis scheme (over 5 years) and high export share (over 40% of annual turnover) also have a positive effect on perceptions in both areas of the firm. In the context of increasing concerns regarding the economic and environmental performance of the French agricultural sector, such findings could be useful for policy makers and entrepreneurs in defining mainstream normative and corporate strategies.Pubblicazioni consigliate
