Tracy Workshop [Second edition]

Link Zoom: https://unipd.zoom.us/j/86051517807

This second edition of the TRACY workshop focuses on the role of sustainable business model, social entrepreneurship, and B Corps in achieving zero-carbon neutrality, disentangling the factors (e.g., institutional, at the industry and/or firm-level) leading firms to meet the net-zero goal.

The workshop focuses on emergent issues related to sustainable development: a development that meets the needs of current generations without compromising those of the future generations. To respond to global changes, it is necessary to embrace a forward-looking approach, oriented to avoid or mitigate negative impacts and to adapt quickly to ongoing changes.

The contents of the workshop relate, but are not limited, to these themes:

1. Sustainability transitions in the energy sector
2. Inclusive and sustainable global value chain
3. Technological change, innovation networks, and sustainable business models
4. Clusters’ transition towards sustainability
5. Culture and creative industries in sustainability transitions
6. The role of sustainable certifications, and certified companies, such as the B Corps, to stimulate local/regional/national transformation towards sustainability
7. Place-based sustainable innovation trajectories and policy actions
8. The effects of green strategy adoption on competitive benefits
9. Carbon neutrality and circular economy
