Abstract:

The current economic, environmental, and social context is constantly evolving and presents increasingly complex global challenges that require greater flexibility, creativity, adaptability, and dynamism in order to pursue sustainable development in the long term.

The concept of sustainability has had a profound impact on the evolution of business models over the past few decades, significantly contributing to the emergence of new paradigms, like the circular economy.
