Does sustainable business exist? How can we make sure that business around the globe becomes economically, socially and environmentally sustainable? Can for example current social and technological trends make business sustainable? In an open discussion round with Mr. Pekka Haavisto, Anne Keränen and Jan Hermes, we turn to these and other highly topical questions about business and sustainability in the era of globalization. Welcome!
