Entrepreneurs today prioritize long-term sustainability over short-term profits (Elkington, 2018), leveraging frameworks like the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) standards to integrate ethical practices with financial performance.Despite these obstacles, ESG and SDG frameworks present opportunities for innovation through systems thinking, foresight, and interdisciplinary collaboration (Senge, 1990). By adopting "green thinking," entrepreneurs mitigate external threats, foster innovation, and drive sustainability. This chapter explores the role of networking, strategic thinking, and ethics in sustainable practices, offering insights into aligning business strategies with global sustainability goals for long-term success. 2025, IGI Global Scientific Publishing.
