This Special Issue focuses on sustainability from different approaches. In a global situation of uncertainty due to wars, political conflicts, elections, social inequalities, and climate emergency, sustainability emerges as a potential solution. However, the pursuit of social, economic, and environmental sustainability is a complex task with many facets. The contributions are multifaceted and range from insurance to zombie companies, climate change regulation, temporary trade measures, financial reporting transparency standards, earnings management, and social enterprises, among others.
