This group explores how Norwegian and other Scandinavian companies address pressing needs for sustainability transformation. It focuses on how businesses perceive opportunities and constraints and the challenges and successes they are experiencing in the process. Inspired by reflexive approaches to corporate social responsibility, the group seeks to go beyond and below lofty ideals and capture some of the contestations, paradoxes, and mundane travails that occur when businesses scramble to adjust to the Anthropocene.
