Abstract: Abstract This chapter presents a synthesis of the recent sustainability- and security-related discussions in business journals, again complemented with reflections and examples from our empirical observations of selected industries. Here, we synthesise the business managers’ key challenges and dilemmas in merging customer and regulatory pressures to fight climate change and biodiversity loss and the simultaneous need to diversify supply chains and cope with protectionist moves in trade policy, again comparing the academic and practitioner discussions at the end of the chapter.
