Abstract
Sustainable development is key to any nation or organisation, leading to a competitive advantage and value creation in a strategic context. Sustainability is dealt with on a macro (economic, social and environmental) and a micro (economic, social and governance (ESG)) level within the complex and uncertain new world of work and living. Leaders and managers need to acquire the competence and expertise in sustainability management as it is seen as one of the most important jobs of the future. The purpose of this study is to indicate the relevance and importance of sustainability in business today and investigate examples of business education in this field. A literature review and case study were analysed through content analysis and themes and findings were identified. The main finding is that higher education institutions need to focus on sustainability and provide business education to develop competences in this very important field of study.
