It reflects the complex and diverse landscape of sustainability efforts in organizations and the pursuit of SDGs. It emphasizes that achieving global change and making the world a better place isn't a straightforward, linear process but rather a conglomerate of diverse and interconnected journeys driven by countless parties with individual interests and systemic conditions. Recognizing the impossibility of creating a comprehensive "Big Picture" covering all facets, the authors' ambition is to contribute to the discussion on sustainability and SDG coverage through inspiring use cases. The book illustrates how the Three-Pillar-Model leads to sustainability and SDG coverage. It emphasizes the importance of a strong Sustainable Purpose, mindset transformation in organizations, and cross-silo cooperation for success. The book features contributions from various authors and institutions from all over the world, including (former) leaders of UN agencies, NGOs, enterprises, venture capital funds and angel investor communities, consultancies, universities, historians, system theorists, philosophers and linguists. The chapters also provide diverse perspectives and historical cases to facilitate learning and exploration in this vast field.PPN: PPN: 1927866448Package identifier: Produktsigel: ZDB-2-SEB | ZDB-2-BUM | ZDB-2-SXBM
