Call for papers special issue: Current and future research in environmental sustainability: Role, responsibilities, and opportunities for the business sector 1. Purpose and rationaleThe increasingly complex sustainability challenges of this era have impelled corporations to reevaluate their business models and relationships with the environment, emphasising their role and responsibilities in addressing such challenges, and utilising opportunities that may exist.Not only have investors and further stakeholders increasingly turned to businesses that address their impact on the environment but organisations have also found the strategic benefits in innovating and implementing efficient economic solutions to outstanding sustainability challenges.Towards this end, a growing number of companies are including concepts such as corporate social responsibility (CSR) or corporate sustainability (CS) and focusing on environmental, social and governance aspects (ESG) as critical components in their business strategies.This special issue of Current Research in Environmental Sustainability is designed to solicit a wide variety of themes in the context of environmental sustainability and the role, responsibilities, and opportunities for the business sector.An ecological perspective and a focus on climate change are often considered to be the main focus of environmental sustainability and corporate environmental responsibility.This special issue intends to capture the ecological and climate focus of environmental sustainability.Moreover, it also intends to consider the links between environmental and social aspects.Environmental changes, such as climate change or marine, land and air pollution, typically also have huge implications at the social and societal levels.Social and societal effects relate to, for example, health and well-being, food quality, and social harmony.When referring to CSR, we therefore also consider the environmental focus to be of the utmost importance.
