The Role of Sustainable Entrepreneurs

Abstract

Sustainable  entrepreneurs  are  assumed  to  have  a  catalytic  role  in  sustainable development,  new  ventures  in  the  early  stages  and  incumbent  firms  in  the  following stages.  However,  some  studies  argue  that  such  radical  shifts  are  unlikely  to  succeed without parallel political actions. This is particularly suiting in the case of energy sector and  the  transition  to  a  low­  carbon  economy  through  renewable  energy.  Therefore, another  stream  of  literature  suggests  to  study  sustainable  entrepreneurship  in  a  wider context with encompasses socio­ecological system. Then, there can be rooms for policy influencing  new  sustainable  ventures  with  the  aim  of  developing  sustainable  corporate cultures  from  the  outset.  Our  study  on  the  role  of  sustainable  entrepreneurs  within Sustainable  Energy  Action  Plans  show  that  incumbents  firms  are  engaged  in sustainable  development  in  early  stages  as  well  as  new  ventures  and  that  there  is  a mutual  interplay  between  sustainable  entrepreneurs  and  public  institutions  towards sustainable  development.  In  other  words  either  firms  have  an  active  role  in  triggering transition  to  sustainable  development  (i.e.  institutional  push)  or  are  beneficiaries  of public  policies  aimed  at  reshaping  the  local  context  towards  sustainable  development (institutional pull).
