This book brings together research related to sustainability, green, and eco-entrepreneurship to explore what the author describes as cleaner entrepreneurship, which also links to social issues and public policy. Particularly in emerging markets, public policies have encouraged the co-creation of sustainable entrepreneurial activities.
It begins by discussing sustainable entrepreneurship in the context of the sustainable development goals (SDGs) and presents global perspectives of entrepreneurship and social consciousness. It then presents a framework describing how sustainable entrepreneurship can address issues such as poverty, access to healthcare, and gender inequality. The book closes by laying out future standpoints of green entrepreneurship and how global-local partnerships will encourage reverse innovation and collective business development projects.
