Sustainable Business Models
Provided by: NHH
Master's degree (EQF level: 7)
Sustainability concerns are increasingly influencing companies' strategies, business models, and governance practices. One major reason for this is the need to comply with comprehensive regulations like the EU Taxonomy and the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD).
There is also a growing demand from investors and other financial market players to enhance and disclose companies’ sustainability performance, and companies are encountering broader stakeholder expectations for improved social and environmental performance from consumers, NGOs, and local communities.
These advancements pose considerable risks for companies, encompassing reputational, litigation, and regulatory risks, among others. Nevertheless, the rising prominence of sustainability, along with new technologies and business models, also implies substantial opportunities for those companies that are successful in integrating sustainability concerns into their strategies and operations.
For these reasons, sustainability is becoming a strategic priority for small and large companies across all industries and sectors. However, a transition to sustainable practices and business models requires new knowledge and skills, and most companies have to make considerable changes to turn their unsustainable business models into sustainable ones.
