An important part of the chapter is to define and characterize innovations based on sustainable value. The chapter ends with a discussion on the application and development of sustainable business models in economic practice and the indication of recommendations and further directions of development of this trend. Sustainable business modelsSustainable business models (SBMs) are a challenge, not only for managers of organizations, but also for employees, supply chains, and business financing institutions. By definition, the principles of sustainable development must be implemented in the organization’s strategy. The chapter indicates definitions, areas, and bases supporting the creation of sustainable business models. An important element is also the indication of drivers supporting the implementation of this innovative concept. The assessment tools and archetypes of the functioning and implementation of sustainable business models were also found in the literature.
