There is a growing concern about sustainability in business. Now that many companies and organisations are aligning their strategy around SGDs or ESGs, it is important to understand how concern for ecology and sustainability affects the creation and development of new companies and entrepreneurs. Thus, we aim to (i) understand how entrepreneurial processes are influenced by ecological and sustainability concerns; (ii) identify new business models that integrate sustainability objectives; (iii) determine strategies to foster green entrepreneurship; (iv) evaluate the local, regional or national impact of green entrepreneurship.
