About This Special Issue

Business no longer operates in isolation from society or nature. Stakeholders such as investors, employees, consumers, and regulators expect more than profit: resilience, purpose, and responsibility. Innovation without sustainability risks creating value today at the expense of tomorrow; sustainability without innovation may struggle to remain competitive. By bringing both lenses together, the conference seeks to spark ideas and collaborations that deliver long-term, meaningful impact.

The primary goal of this special issue is to provide a global platform for scholars, industry professionals, and policymakers to discuss emerging challenges in the business environment. To explore innovative business models, strategies, and technologies that address global economic, social, and environmental issues. To promote sustainability-oriented thinking in business practices, governance, and decision-making.
