ETHICAL FOUNDATION FOR SUSTAINABLE BUSINESS MODELS

To create sustainable organizations, care is needed in the design of the business model, overcoming the linear economy paradigm and the lack of an adequate ethical perspective. Building a method to design sustainable business models requires a theoretical framework capable of dealing with the complexity of organizations and service ecosystems, addressing macro, meso and micro issues in an integrated manner. A network of researchers and practitioners from various specialties and institutions will provide the critical mass for the development of a theoretically grounded and practical business design method. Entrepreneurs, consultants and university students will be trained in the application of the method, aiming to quickly and widely disseminate the necessary competence to plan sustainable and ethically based business models. Metrics for evaluating the sustainability of business models will also be prepared and certified.
