Sustainability in Public Entrepreneurship
This book critically examines the evolving role of sustainability—environmental, social, governance, and economic—in shaping public entrepreneurship. It explores how public enterprises and entrepreneurs contribute to the UN’s 2030 Agenda and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), offering a multi-perspective analysis of sustainability strategies, reporting standards, and governance practices. By tracing current developments and future directions, the book provides a comprehensive and timely contribution to the discourse on sustainable public sector innovation. Aimed at scholars, practitioners, policymakers, and professionals, it offers fresh insights into sustainability accounting, cross-sector collaboration, and the transformative potential of public governance.
