Description
There is a huge external pressure for companies to become more sustainable, and in Europe this pressure materializes itself in a wave of new sustainability regulations and directives, many of which are specially focused on the finance and banking sector. Thordis Bjartmarz´ research studies sustainability in the banking sector by analyzing the banking business models and identify where sustainability plays a key role and where there may be challenges that need addressing. she studies this with the lens of organizational boundaries theory, meaning she looks at internal processes, boundaries and people and study how they help or hinder in the implementation process of sustainability. Empirically, Thordis studies both the Danish and Icelandic banking sector through a case study research design, meaning she dives into various banks to unfold what is sustainability in and around these banks and what can we than learn from this. Studying sustainability in the banking sector makes a lot of sense, as all the sustainability solutions and innovations cost money and there is a need to bring the finance sector, with its capital and investment funds, fully on this path towards sustainability.| Period | 24 Apr 2025 |
