Abstract: If small companies currently seem less sensitive than the large ones to the stakes of sustainable development, they could however, taking into account their number, be an important vector of expansion of the practices, in particular in the environmental field. More and more tools and specific devices are proposed to them. In addition, new technologies, known as ?clean technologies? or ?eco-technologies? are adapted for small companies. The object of this paper is to present a model of analysis of ?eco-technological? innovations, in small companies. Taking into account the characteristics of sustainable development, is it possible to conceive the incorporation of ?eco-technologies? in the small companies as a traditional process of innovation? This analysis is based on a review of theoretical as well as empirical literature carried out in the field of CSR of small companies, more precisely by developing the environmental approaches, and on various researches relating to technological innovation in small companies. We will then propose a model integrating all the dimensions identified from these approaches. JEL Codes: M14, L21, 047, Q
