Mainstreaming Sustainability
We introduce this Special Issue on Mainstreaming Sustainability by reviewing insights from organisational research on how sustainability becomes, or fails to become, mainstream practice. Although organisational sustainability research has investigated diverse approaches to addressing sustainability challenges, critical questions about mainstreaming remain underexplored. To advance this field of research, we define sustainability mainstreaming and…
Net‐Zero Transitions Through Finance
This paper examines the global effects of sustainable finance policies on firms' greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reductions. Drawing on a framework that distinguishes between the motives for implementing different sustainable finance policies and the relevant instruments used to achieve them, we analyze data from over 10,000 public firms in 64 economies over 2002–2021 using a quasi–difference‐in–difference‐in‐differences strategy. We find that coun…
Thinking With, Not Just About, Nature
Business scholarship has long engaged with the natural environment, yet it rarely pauses to examine what is meant by nature itself. Most research reflects an atomistic orientation that fragments nature into measurable categories, such as carbon, water, and biodiversity, rendering it legible but stripped of interdependence, relationality, and deeper meaning. In response, in this perspective we advance an emerging holistic orientation to business–n…
The Biodiversity Moonshot
Biodiversity has recently gained increased attention in sustainability management research. It sustains the ecosystems on which organizations depend, while simultaneously being threatened by organizational activities. By highlighting this dynamic of impact and dependence, the integration of biodiversity into management discourse offers an opportunity to foster a more holistic understanding of the business–nature relationship, grounded in a system…
Conceptualising Sustainability as the Pursuit of Life
Complex and urgent challenges including climate change and the significant decline in biodiversity provide a broad agenda for interdisciplinary scholars interested in the implications facing businesses, humanity, and other species. Within this context of sustainability, persistent conflicts between key paradigms create substantial barriers against—but also opportunities for—developing new conceptual approaches and theoretical models to understand…
Mobilising Knowledge for General Practice Decarbonisation
BACKGROUND: This manuscript explores how knowledge mobilisation (KMb), through a multi-stakeholder workshop, can advance decarbonisation in general practice by interpreting findings from the GPNET-0 study, which includes a systematic review, a GP survey and longitudinal case studies. The KMb workshop serves as a platform to interpret and disseminate its findings, thereby informing the development and refinement of outputs (i.e., Policy Brief and …
Aristotle in the Anthropocene
In the Anthropocene, humanity faces a pressing question: 'what should we do?' Here we are interested in the underlying sense and reference of the normative 'should' as it applies to ethics with respect to different actors. To excavate 'should', we unearth the foundations of three conventional groupings of normative ethical systems: Mill's utilitarianism, Kantian deontological ethics and Aristotelian virtue ethics. Each provides a normative basis …
The Purpose Ecosystem and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals
In this paper we explore the nature of the emerging purpose ecosystem and its role in transforming and supporting business to help address the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). We argue that interactions among its ‘private actors’, who share efforts and belief in changing and redefining the purpose and nature of business by advocating broader non-financial performance outcomes, have the potential to contribute to a wider sustainability-ori…
The ‘purpose ecosystem’
The private sector arguably plays a critical role in addressing the challenges of the Anthropocene and providing potential solutions to achieve the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Recently, a myriad of new actors in the form of intermediaries, initiatives and organisations have started driving wider systems change by advocating and advising companies to reconsider and broaden their fundamental ‘raison d’être’. In this Perspective we…
Corporate actors, the UN Sustainable Development Goals and Earth System Governance
The Anthropocene requires significant shifts and innovation in policy as well as human action and behavior. While much research attention has focused on society and policy makers, we know significantly less about how businesses exercise agency as part of Earth System Governance such as their contribution to the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Concerns are mounting over how large corporations are being governed and how businesses generally shoul…
Emerging energy geographies
This paper presents an evaluation of the impact of the related EU internal energy market and renewable energy policies by exploring the (sustainable) energy transition in the EUropean electricity sector and drawing on the emerging literatures on energy geographies. We use evidence aggregated from plant-level data on installed electricity generation capacity in the EUropean electric utilities sector over the period 1990–2013 to demonstrate how the…
