Sustainable Business also encompasses the emerging concept of risks of unsustainability and its significance for national, transnational and international risk management, accounting, reporting and auditing law, standards and practices as a connecting point with the theme of Sustainable Finance.
Sustainable Business includes not only traditional business forms such as companies and cooperatives and partnerships, cooperatives and foundations but also their groups and value chains. Included are also Indigenous businesses and new and merging areas of business, such as a sustainable distributed ledger and other technologies and emerging fields of business, including the outer space sector. The research encompasses the full range of sizes of businesses from the multinational business enterprises to the small- and medium sized businesses, and all kind of control arrangements from sole entrepreneurs to small businesses, state-controlled enterprises and multinational firms with institutional investors.
Sustainable Business builds on and develops further the ground-breaking research conducted in the projects Sustainable Companies (2010-14) and SMART (2016-20). The work is continued notably in the SMART legacy project Futuring Nordics.
