Strategic Sustainability in the Anthropocene
Abstract
This chapter discusses the critical value of integrating sound sustainability agendas into an organisation's strategic management strategies. Specifically, the authors debate the benefits, challenges, and counterpoints to authentic strategic sustainability alignment vis-à-vis an organisation's strategic value propositions in the Anthropocene. This perspective on sustainability shifts the paradigm of sustainability analyses from industry, sectoral, and financial indicators to proactive strategic guidelines that support human and societal development without compromising our planetary resources and ecological boundaries. In addition to discussing the implications of sustainable development agendas for strategic sustainability, the chapter also reviews two case studies of organisations that have successfully adopted sustainability into their strategic value propositions. Finally, it discusses Raworth's framework as a model for reinterpreting strategic sustainability management in the Anthropocene.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
