metadata.value: In this article, I explore the relationship between sustainable development and commercial
  success by using the example of the multi-national corporation (MNC), Scania. Despite broad
  discussion of necessity for businesses to be actively engaged in the sustainable development
  goals at global and national level, only a small number of MNCs are actually taking concrete
  action towards reaching any of them. In reality, corporations’ commitment to these goals often
  remains of a declaratory nature. Actions by organizations to emphasise social responsibility
  and environmental obligations have rarely been connected to generating income. This work
  attempts to investigate sustainable development as a source of new business opportunities to
  bring MNCs additional income. By looking at concrete business practices from Scania, I illustrate
  how corporations may adjust their strategic behavior, approaches, and positioning in
  the global market within the context of the sustainable development paradigm. The analysis is
  based on the public account records and official documents of Scania, as well as the company’s
  official website and open sources of information.
