Sustainable development is the current strategic trajectory with transformative intent for complex global challenges including eradication of poverty, full social inclusion and prevention of ecological collapse. However, discourses related to the private sector emphasise economic and social development over the environmental components of sustainable development. Embedding sustainability is the related management imperative for business, supported by numerous frameworks, yet there is confusion about implementation in both literature and practice. This research addresses these issues with a mixed methods study combining a scoping literature review with a qualitative e-Delphi study. The main findings are that the economic system constrains the embedding of sustainability in business; and that a paradigm shift towards ecocentric business models lacks support. The results are used to develop a novel model to aid transformational sustainable development that acknowledges the influences of the economic system in business whilst respecting social and ecological embeddedness.

将可持续性嵌入商业的必要性:转型可持续发展的模型

可持续发展是当前的战略轨迹,旨在应对复杂的全球挑战,包括消除贫困、充分的社会包容和防止生态崩溃。然而,与私营部门相关的话语强调经济和社会发展而不是可持续发展的环境组成部分。在众多框架的支持下,嵌入可持续性是企业的相关管理要求,但文献和实践中的实施都存在混淆。本研究通过将范围界定文献综述与定性 e-Delphi 研究相结合的混合方法研究来解决这些问题。主要发现是经济体系限制了可持续性在商业中的嵌入;并且向以生态为中心的商业模式的范式转变缺乏支持。结果用于开发一种新模型,以帮助转型可持续发展,该模型承认经济体系对商业的影响,同时尊重社会和生态嵌入性。
