New name – same approach:
The International Journal of Corporate Social Responsibility becomes the Journal of Sustainable Business
We are delighted to share the relaunch of the International Journal of Corporate Social Responsibility under its new name: Journal of Sustainable Business.
This transformation marks a strategic shift to more fully embrace the evolving landscape of sustainable business practices, innovation, and impact-oriented leadership. As global challenges demand deeper integration of sustainability into core business strategies, our journal aims to be at the forefront of this dialogue — serving as a vital platform for rigorous research, forward-thinking perspectives, and inclusive conversations across disciplines and sectors.
What’s new?
- A renewed Aims and Scope, expanding beyond traditional CSR to encompass broader themes of sustainability, ethical leadership, inclusive innovation, and systemic impact.
- A special Call for Papers on Transforming Corporate Social Responsibility: Evolving Paradigms, Innovations, and Impact Assessment.
- A redesigned journal interface, new submission guidelines, and an expanded, international editorial board committed to diversity, equity, and excellence in scholarship.
- Continued open access to all content, supporting equitable global knowledge exchange.
- Select APC waivers available to support inclusive participation, particularly from underrepresented researchers and institutions.
For members of the CSR Dialogforum and G100 network — women leaders, change-makers, and allies committed to shaping a more sustainable, inclusive future — the Journal of Sustainable Business offers an ideal outlet and resource. Whether you are a scholar, policymaker, entrepreneur, or advocate, we invite you to engage with the journal as a reader, author, reviewer, or collaborator.
Our former head of the Scientific Advisory Board, Prof. Dr. Rene Schmidpeter, is looking forward to many contributions and wishes you a good read. Whether as a reader, author, reviewer or cooperation partner. Let’s shape the future of sustainable business — together. Our CSR Denim Prof. Dr. Rene Schmidpeter hopes to have many contributions from the G100 network.
