Klappentext

The International Conference on Sustainable Business: People, Planet, and Profit brings together thought leaders, academics, industry professionals and policymakers to explore and discuss the integration of sustainable practices in business. The conference, held in January 2025 at the College of IT and Management Education and in collaboration with the Institute of Management and Information Technology and the Interscience Institute of Management and Technology, focused on how businesses can achieve long-term success by balancing the triple bottom line: social responsibility (people), environmental stewardship (planet), and economic viability (profit).

By addressing critical topics such as social sustainability, sustainable finance, governance frameworks, and global collaboration, the papers contribute to both academic discourse and real-world applications in these domains. This volume comprises innovative strategies, technology-driven solutions, and policy interventions that promote sustainability across business sectors. Papers provide novel understandings of how businesses can align profitability with ethical and sustainable practices, making substantial contributions to literatures focused on corporate governance, sustainability reporting, green technologies, and sustainable HR practices.
