Unternehmen des Mittelstandes sind eine tragende Säule des wirtschaftlichen Erfolgs, der Arbeitsplatzstabilität und Identität der Gesellschaft. Viele Unternehmen des Mittelstands sind globale Marktführer, übernehmen essentielle soziale Funktionen in der Gesellschaft und sind wichtige Innovationsträger. Trotz dieser Vorreiterrolle stehen Mittelständler auch vor großen Herausforderungen, z.B. der Unternehmensnachfolge, Rekrutierung von qualifiziertem Personal sowie dem Einsatz digitaler Technologien. Hierbei stellt sich die Frage, wie Unternehmen die Trends der Globalisierung, Nachhaltigkeit und Digitalisierung bündeln können, um so im internationalen Wettbewerb weiterhin führend zu bleiben. Der Inhalt Bestandsaufnahme von Nachhaltigkeit im (deutschen) Mittelstand Integration von CSR in Unternehmensprozesse Unternehmerische Praxisbeispiele Die Herausgeberin Marina Schmitz arbeitet als wissenschaftliche Mitarbeiterin und Dozentin am Center for Advanced Sustainable Management (CASM) der CBS International Business School in Köln.

This book investigates the value orientation of ecologically conscious business. It analyzes, in a systematic and comparative way, the value commitments and business models of exemplary ecologically conscious businesses from around the world. Ecological consciousness is gaining importance in modern business thinking, as the effects of the Anthropocene acidification of oceans, diminishing potable water, climate change, and decreasing biodiversity are becoming more evident. Surviving this ecological crisis requires a radical inner transformation of humanity, and an ecological transformation of business and the economy.

Hydrogen has recently become a popular topic and is often described as the missing link to a successful green energy transition. However, hydrogen can only contribute to a carbon-free future if it is produced from renewable energy. The ability to produce renewable hydrogen is linked to the renewable energy production capacity, which is itself conditioned by the underpinning renewable energy policies. This publication offers a review and an analysis of the renewable energy and hydrogen policies of five countries of the APAC markets: Australia, China, Japan, South-Korea and Taiwan. The review is complemented by interviews of renewable energy policy experts, renewable energy project developers and potential renewable hydrogen off-takers. Altogether, the policies analysis and experts’ inputs provide a comprehensive overview of the status, drivers, limitations, and recommendations for the use of renewable hydrogen as a solution for deep decarbonization. Finally, the author proposes a method to assess the potential of renewable hydrogen to decarbonize hard-to-abate industries (ammonia, methanol, oil refining and steel manufacturing) based on existing renewable energy policies. About the Author Matthieu Jaunatre holds a Master of Environmental Engineering and a Master of Business Administration. He has over 15 years of experience in nuclear and renewable new build projects development and execution. He currently heads the QHSE function of an offshore wind market leader.

This book illustrates key sustainability issues in global textile and fashion value chains, by examining individual types of fibers either at a single step in or along the entire value chain. It approaches sustainability-related issues in the textile and fashion value chain from an interdisciplinary and holistic viewpoint, with each contribution linking questions on the textile and fashion value chain to various drivers, indicators and concepts of sustainability. Each chapter represents a single step in the textile and fashion value chain, exploring and considering a wide range of interwoven and interdependent technological, environmental, social, political and economic aspects. Various fibers, textile engineering and chemical treatment steps, as well as innovative business concepts and regulatory frameworks across the entire textile and fashion value chain are identified, analyzed, discussed and critically evaluated. The book provides a systematic overview of the potential and challenges of sustainable textile and fashion value chains, making it of interest to practitioners and scientists in sustainability science, environmental economics, and business, management and innovation. Further, it offers a valuable source of information for industrial and mechanical engineering researchers, and for students in the areas of textile engineering, fashion, or the apparel and clothing industry. .
