Over the last few years, sustainable development has increasingly become a key imperative for businesses. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, adopted by world leaders in 2015, showcase universally applicable targets intended to mobilize efforts to end all forms of poverty, fight inequalities, and tackle climate change. While the SDGs are not legally binding, countries are expected to take ownership and establish national frameworks aimed to achieve the goals. Furthermore, all stakeholders including governments, civil society, the private sector, and others are demanded to contribute to the achievement of the SDGs. Consequently, businesses are supposed to play an integral part in contributing to the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
In this course, we look at these developments and how businesses – both those operating within as well as across countries – are affected by the imperative for sustainable development. Due to institutional and cultural variation across countries as well as diverse stages of economic development, the SDGs are likely to have diverse priorities across societies affecting, in turn, the specific demands for businesses to contribute to sustainable development. Comprehending these dissimilarities while still understanding the universal need for sustainable development – and in this way embracing the paradox of sustainable development – is key for successful future international business.
