The traditional approach of limiting regulatory and policy changes to a single field or discipline, such as tackling the inherent unsustainability of corporate laws or incentivizing sustainable finance to stimulate the transition towards sustainable practices, is no longer sufficient to address the complex and interconnected environmental and social issues of our time. To achieve sustainable outcomes, we need to adopt a new perspective and approach that simultaneously regulates seemingly non-connected fields. This book offers a groundbreaking viewpoint and approach to simultaneously regulating seemingly non-connected fields, creating a fertile ground for a truly organic change towards sustainable outcomes.

The book addresses diverse questions related to the sustainable transition of three specific fields: public procurement, private market transactions, and educating future business leaders and legal experts. By incorporating sustainable concerns as the underlying guiding principles of their conduct, these fields can support sustainable practices in a holistic and interconnected manner.

The book translates scientific findings into a practical format that can be used by a wide range of stakeholders, including policymakers, business executives, legal professionals, and educators. It provides valuable insights and solutions for addressing the challenges and barriers to sustainable action in these fields.

The underlying assumption of the book is that a simultaneous action in the three respective fields of public procurement, corporate law, and higher education brings about more coherent and interconnected results that incentivize further action and changes towards sustainable practices. By building upon the findings in these fields, the book furthers the idea of policy coherence and calls for further changes in these fields at the EU level.

In conclusion, this book provides a valuable contribution to the field of sustainable development by offering a new perspective and approach to simultaneously regulating seemingly non-connected fields. It offers practical insights and solutions for addressing the challenges and barriers to sustainable action in public procurement, private market transactions, and higher education. By promoting policy coherence and incentivizing further action, the book contributes to the global effort towards a more sustainable and equitable future.
