Sustainability Research at DTU Management Engineering

At DTU Management Engineering we have a wide palette of research activities within the area of sustainability. Important research questions addressed by our research are:

1. How should sustainability be understood and assessed?
2. How do environmental problems occur and how are they dealt with, in practice?
3. How can sustainability recommendations be developed for various stakeholders?

Our research addresses key sustainability issues within companies, branches, socio-technical systems, the public sector and society at large. Furthermore, we are engaged with a series of technologies and sectors.
