Consumers, firms and governments operate in a social and ecological environment that poses (ever tighter) constraints. Are outcomes and processes in the economy fair and just? Can we manage and mitigate social tensions linked to inequality and ageing? And how do we manage, collectively and individually, the constraints that our ecological environment puts on the economic system?

Sustainability and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are crucial in addressing these challenges. Achieving a balance between economic growth, social inclusion, and environmental protection in the International Business Environment is essential for long-term prosperity. By integrating sustainable practices, promoting renewable energy, and encouraging responsible consumption and production, we can work towards a more equitable and resilient economic system that respects the ecological boundaries of our planet.
