Background
Society faces a broad range of sustainability challenges (environmental, social, health, energy, and so on), even to which the United Nations set up the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development Goals (SDG’s), calling governments, business and civil society to transform the world into a more
sustainable place (United Nations, 2017). For businesses, it is no longer a question “whether” they should endeavor for more than just financial values, but “how” they can integrate multiple value creation with respect to, for example, ecological or social values (Jonker, 2016). This shift in
meaning and focus of value creation brings forth not only possible alterations in current existing business models, but also the conception of “new business models”, which can also be referred to as sustainable business models.
