REFRAMING THE ROLE OF COMPANIES IN SUSTAINABILITY:
Toward business sustainability transitions
Today, more than ever, business is a powerful catalyst for solving society’s greatest challenges
The ways in which companies address sustainability today shape the future for businesses, societies, and ecosystems at large. Whether tackling grand challenges such as climate change, human rights violations, or disease outbreaks, companies have much to contribute to the sustainable world.
Yet, nearly every entrepreneur, business leader, and manager faces the challenge of addressing sustainability the right way—the way that deepens engagement with their core business, customers, teams, and within their natural environment.
This website offers research-based insights and ideas for business actors to help them think and address sustainability in new ways that can readily be translated into action.
Hello! I'm Sonja
I’m a sustainability strategist, business consultant, researcher and speaker on the role of companies in addressing some of the most serious evolving challenges facing our world today.
What gets me most excited in my work is combining academic rigor with real-life cases to explore and improve the ways how businesses can help solve these issues in the most meaningful way.
Here, I share what I have discovered during my PhD journey in the sustainable business world. Join me, while I explore some of the most fascinating questions concerning the future direction of companies, consumers, societies, and natural ecosystems.
Solving the Reframing Cube
Reframing the companies' role in sustainability is like solving the Rubik’s Cube. All the elements exist already, but we need creative problem-solving to get the necessary elements re-aligned.
This website is built around the idea of the Reframing Cube. The writings focus on specific elements of the Cube at a time to help readers in discovering new, alternative solutions to issues they are most interested in. As a whole, the Cube helps to see the bigger picture of what is needed for business sustainability transitions to succeed.
