Companies are facing growing environmental and social challenges which increasingly affect corporate decision making, performance and prosperity. Therefore, business and management is confronted with the need to take into account environmental and social developments. Rapid and drastic changes both in the natural and social environment of corporate decision making require innovative approaches and solutions that go beyond conventional business practice. Research is needed to develop and discuss novel approaches that define the role and purpose of business and management in the light of challenges such as mitigating climate change, alleviating poverty, coping with migration, dealing with resource scarcities, securing social cohesion, etc. The SEABUS summer academy invites research papers on innovative responses and strategies for business and management that create new opportunities for future business by contributing to the sustainability of the life-supporting environmental and social systems. We would like to encourage innovative approaches that explore new perspectives on the active role business could play for achieving a more sustainable future. Contributions should go beyond the current discussion of CSR, business and society, eco-efficiency, environmental management, corporate sustainability and the business case.
