Sustainability improvements at the organizational level have been in the focus of existing corporate sustainability research for some time. However, more recent research calls for a stronger integration of a multi-level perspective on sustainability management, including the consideration of the interaction between individual/organisational levels and meso- and macro-levels of society and the natural environment. This workshop aims to provide such an integrative perspective by bringing together sustainability scholars from different backgrounds for a moderated interactive panel discussion involving the participants of the PDW. Adopting an interdisciplinary perspective on the topic of organisational sustainability transformations, the PDW addresses how different factors interact within and across levels to enable successful business transformations that contribute to solving sustainability problems beyond organisational boundaries.
