In this timely Companion, leading experts from across the globe present a comprehensive and multifaceted study of how multinational enterprises engage with emerging sustainability challenges.Providing diverse theoretical frameworks and empirical evidence, contributors from both the Global North and South address six key topics: digital transformation, corporate governance, regional perspectives, future direction, measurement and accountability, and education. They adopt a methodological approach in order to bridge the theory-practice gap in SDG implementation, with a particular focus on SDG 8, Decent Work and Economic Growth, SDG 13, Climate Action, and SDG 17, Partnerships. Using both quantitative modeling and qualitative case studies, chapters analyse the emerging challenges that are shaping the future of sustainable business practice, such as AI, deep-seabed mining, and post-pandemic adaptation. Contributors also identify significant research gaps, particularly in the areas of poverty reduction, hunger elimination, and clean water access.The theoretical frameworks and research agendas presented in this Companion are of great benefit to scholars and students in the fields of international business, environmental studies, and development studies. Providing actionable guidance on how to integrate SDGs into business operations, this Companion is also an essential reference for corporate sustainability executives, ESG professionals, management consultants, and policymakers.
