Innovation for sustainability
Innovating new sustainable products, services, business models and forms of consumption can help tackle global challenges.
Our work in the domain of corporate responsibility (CR) deals with the impacts – positive and negative – that business organizations have on society in terms of environmental quality and social and economic well-being. The objective of such work is to increase understanding of the multiple interrelations between business, society, and the environment, and to promote transitions to a more sustainable world.
The research area of CR is very broad and it can be approached from several perspectives. Examples of our current areas of interest include:
The GLOBAL VALUE toolkit provides knowledge, tools and resources for companies and other societal actors wishing to tackle the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) together with business.
Innovating new sustainable products, services, business models and forms of consumption can help tackle global challenges.
Our research looks at several dimensions of the transition toward sustainability societies.
