Abstract
In a sample of 105 firms in Spain, a relationship was found between st rategic proactivity and approaches to the natural environment. The fir ms with the most proactive business strategies (''prospectors'') emplo yed both traditional corrective and modern preventive natural environm ental approaches. Firm size had a major impact on the amount of traini ng relating to the natural environment in the sample firms and on thei r corrective approaches but made no difference to their preventive app roaches.
