ABOUT
SUSTAINABILITY is becoming an increasingly important direction in business operations. It is rooted in the negative consequences of the neoliberal development paradigm in the world and the calls for sustainable development by international organisations and national governments. The latter implies that countries, organisations and individuals not only focus on achieving economic prosperity, but also seek to have a positive impact on the natural environment and society.
INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS involves interactions and business activities between many countries, companies and stakeholders. Companies are responding to calls to implement sustainability in their business practices with varying degrees of commitment; some incorporate aspects of all three pillars of sustainability (economic, social, environmental) into their international business practices, others focus on just one or two. Different types of companies offer many examples of good practices in this area.
The current turbulent global environment represents not only levers for much-needed transformations of business activities or entire corporate business models towards sustainability, but also opportunities to reverse harmful socio-economic trends and increase the global competitiveness of countries and companies.
You may have wondered about several questions, but haven’t found the answers:
– How companies in the manufacturing and service industries can achieve competitive advantages by implementing sustainability in their international business?
– Which are the best practices of well-known multinational companies from different industries in integrating sustainability into their international business operations?
– How companies’ international supply chains can be more environmentally and socially responsible?
– Which are the good practices for integrating sustainability into international marketing communications?
– Which are the good practices in sustainable international tourism?
– Which national support mechanisms and what types of EU funding are available to integrate sustainability aspects into international business?
