This paper aims to verify if enterprises located in Paraná state and considered innovative by Good Law, based year 2014, criteria are accounting intangible assets for environmental innovation as an incentive. Therefore, a literature revision was made to support the development of a guide to oriented surveys with the enterprises. Answers obtained show that few Companies are accounting intangible assets, especially for environmental innovation because, sometimes, Companies don’t know how to account intangible assets for environmental innovation specifically. Other justifications found are the existing crisis in Brazil that inhibits different investments from the Company main core and the lack of investment in environmental field.
