The Sustainable business theme encompasses studies that investigate how existing firms and industries, as well as new enterprises can contribute to improved social and environmental conditions. Stricter government regulation and pressure from stakeholders, including customers, shareholders, employees, activists and local communities, require firms to increasingly focus on their sustainability performance. For new enterprises, sustainability challenges can be a source of opportunities to create positive impact with innovative products and services. For law makers, Corporate Environmental Law, Sustainable Due Diligence and CSRD are interesting topics, as well as questions around ecological damage and environmental responsibilities for existing firms or when companies close.
How businesses can adapt, and how quickly, in such complex multi-stakeholder environments, is a rich source of strategy, entrepreneurship and policy related research questions. This theme also encompasses research questions related to issue of sustainable finance and sustainable accounting, sustainable supply chains and consumer preferences. Studies of changes at the local and system level are needed, as society transitions to a more circular economy and to more climate friendly sources of energy. This theme welcomes an interdisciplinary research approach.
