What is a successful sustainable business?
This is a simple, yet complex question, that has been subject to intense debate for decades. Although more and more companies adopt the language of sustainability and related terms such as shared value, ESG and CSR, there is still limited knowledge about the core characteristics of organisations that simultaneously integrate social, environmental and financial objectives in strategic decision-making, and day-to-day operations.
Antony has successfully combined an academic career with strong practical impact and a career as a practitioner. Through his work he has been at the forefront of the movement of developing theories and tools for strong sustainability, with a primary focus on flourishing businesses and the Flourishing Business Canvas – a business modeling framework used by thousands of organizations world-wide. In this presentation Antony Upward will share his insights on successful sustainable business from examining strongly sustainable aka flourishing business.
