Aims and Scopes

The Working Paper Series

LUSEM Sustainability Research (LSR WPS) brings together research and policy discussions from a range of disciplinary approaches to improve social, environmental and economic sustainability and the reaching of Agenda 2030. The LSR WPS encourages manuscripts combining interdisciplinary perspectives with roots in business administration, economics, economic history, informatics and business law. In the quest of promoting a global sustainable development, the LSR WPS rests on the belief that successful transformations towards more sustainable organizations call for research and policy discussions including novel methodologies and theoretical approaches. 

The LSR WPS coverage includes, but is not limited to:

  • Economic Development and Social and Environmental Issues
  • Policies affecting and/or promoting UN’s Sustainable Development Goals 
  • Corporate Governance and Corporate Social Responsibility
  • Ethics and Technology
  • Business Law and Sustainability
  • Sustainability Accounting, Accountability and Reporting
  • Human Rights and Inequalities
  • Sustainability Strategy
  • Carbon Accounting and Trading
