Ensuring Sustainable Business Transformation for the Long-Term

The Covid 19 pandemic has made it clear to business owners and managers that automation and digital transformation can help employees remain productive while socially distant. This has led to the emergence of the three C's: continuity, communication, and change management. However, a fourth C is also essential for success in today's business world: sustainability. Organizations must integrate ecological, social, and economic objectives into their corporate decisions in order to ensure that their transformation efforts are sustainable over time.

To guarantee long-term success, companies must structure the field of action for their sustainability transformation. This includes forming new partnerships that allow them to pool resources, combine knowledge, co-invest in ways that minimize risks, and achieve sustainable results on a large scale more quickly. Additionally, organizations should create organizational structures designed to treat sustainability as a major business issue. To determine how sustainability actions should be implemented, decision makers must have the means to analyze the current state of an organization.

The decision model of Kamprath and Röglinger (201) can be used for this purpose. This model is expanded and adapted for the economic valuation of the sustainability actions of the Sect. The industry recognizes the organization as a leader in sustainability and uses its sustainability maturity practices to push industry standards. The survey was carried out with a five-level Likert-type scale (1% low in 3D; 5% high in 3D), which allows the answers to be translated into levels of maturity in terms of sustainability. However, in the business context, this is especially difficult since the economic dimension is of particular importance in accordance with the paradigm of values-based management.

Instead, it could be integrated into a business unit that has particular experience in the subject or that is primarily responsible for directing the company's response in this regard. Organizations must take steps to ensure that their business transformation efforts are sustainable over time. This includes structuring the field of action for their sustainability transformation, creating organizational structures designed to treat sustainability as a major business issue, and using decision models such as Kamprath and Röglinger's (201) to determine how sustainability actions should be implemented. By doing so, organizations can become recognized as leaders in sustainability and push industry standards. In conclusion, sustainable business transformation is essential for long-term success. Companies must create partnerships that allow them to pool resources and combine knowledge, create organizational structures designed to treat sustainability as a major business issue, and use decision models such as Kamprath and Röglinger's (201) to determine how sustainability actions should be implemented.
