Abstract

This chapter introduces a framework of sustainable ecosystem for profit and not-for-profit businesses in the context of sustainable development goals. The principal discussion is on foundations of corporate sustainability, business ecosystem, sustainability commitments, sustainable business modeling, and corporate social responsibility. This chapter analyzes the current sustainable business models in the context of previous studies, and attempts to guide business leaders to create sustainable businesses. This chapter is broadly based on the triadic business management approach toward profiteering, corporate social responsibility, and attaining sustainability goals.
