Sustainable Innovation and Impact

Following the Brexit and Trump election cycles, consistent, long-term policy

solutions to environmental and other societal challenges are becoming increasingly

difficult to achieve. Stepping into this breach is a clear opportunity for innovation

by public and privately held companies, as well as the increasingly significant role

of investment and consumption.

Sustainable Innovation and Impact provides a roadmap

of the many critical pathways of positive change emerging to achieve modern

day societal success, including rapidly evolving corporate and investment innovation

and impact strategy considerations. Exploring innovation around the future of

energy, electricity and related technologies, as well as transportation and buildings

efficiency, Krosinsky and Cort consider ideas framed around the circular economy,

operational and supply chain strategies and the global economy.

Drawing together a diverse range of contributors and case studies, this book will be of great relevance

to students, scholars and professionals with an interest in innovation, economics and sustainability more broadly.
