Did you know that things like crushed glass, biochar can be used in replacement of carbon-intensive portland cement? Or that microalgae can be used to produce carbon-neutral cement? Along with long-term lifecycle sustainability benefits, the concrete industry is exploring ways to reduce it's immediate carbon impact.

A call for action: The impact of business model innovation on business ecosystems, society and planet Author links open overlay panelYuliya Snihur a, Nancy Bocken b c d a Toulouse Business School, 1 Place Jourdain, 31068, Toulouse, France b Maastricht Sustainability Institute (MSI), Maastricht University, P.O.

Increasing sustainability pressures warrant a better understanding of the impact of companies’ BMI through a more comprehensive analysis of innovation and its consequences. We discuss four foci of innovation (BMI, sustainable BMI, ecosystem innovation, and sustainable ecosystem innovation) to broaden the conceptualization of innovation and its economic, societal, and natural environmental impacts. We call for scholarship examining the impact of BMI to advance knowledge through research on value destruction and the dynamics of BMI over time https://lnkd.in/gmybTtUT
