For modern businesses evaluating both their bottom line and their contribution to the world, sustainability is quickly becoming a priority.

How does this factor into risk management and strategy for modern businesses? And what does it mean for a business to be sustainable, with concrete processes, practices, tools and technologies that can aid sustainable business development?

In this episode of Think: Business Futures, presenter Stefan Posthuma is joined by Melissa Edwards, Director of the Executive MBA program and Tim Williams, Management Lecturer at the UTS Business School to discuss the mechanisms businesses use to contribute to sustainability, and what is needed to make sustainable business a reality.
