ESG-Driven Innovation
The research project “ESG-Driven Innovation” explores how companies adapt their innovation strategies and business models in response to growing environmental and societal demands. It builds on the so-called ESG criteria — Environmental, Social, and Governance — which encompass ecological responsibility, social standards, and principles of good corporate governance.
