Whether it is finance, business, politics, law, or tech, sustainability is leaving its mark on an increasing number of facets of humanity. Amplified by high-profile initiatives such as COP26, and guided by the UN Sustainable Development Goals, it has become imperative for companies to adopt sustainability into their business models. Simultaneously, a seemingly conflicting trend has impacted our lives significantly: ever-growing convenience. At no point in history has life been this convenient, services such as: video on-demand, 10-minute grocery deliveries, and fast fashion. How do firms play into these two contrasting trends? Is there necessarily a trade-off between the two, or can harmony be achieved? We explore the topic of balancing sustainability and convenience during China in Focus 2022.
