Accelerators are touted as engines of SME growth. Yet most target established businesses, leaving low-income women behind.

How Can Companies Turn Sustainability into Jobs, Livelihoods and Lasting Business Value? Hosted with Novonesis This Insights Paper explores how companies can translate sustainability commitments into concrete action that generates jobs, livelihoods and lasting business value. With just five years left to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals, the discussion featured Novonesis and the Harvard Kennedy School, highlighting how sustainability must be embedded in core business models rather than treated as a side agenda. Key themes include the business case for sustainability, resilience narratives, credible targets, value chain coalitions, and inclusive governance that incorporates youth and Global South perspectives. The paper shows why reframing sustainability beyond risk management is critical for both growth and long-term resilience.
