Description

The practice of sustainability management in – regardless of whether in profit-orientated, public and charitable organisations – poses a range of challenges. These challenges arise both due to the specificity and complexity of sustainability issues and due to a number of key factors within and around organizations. This project addresses various sustainability management aspects and contingencies. A particular focus is set on transdisciplinarity.
