Stability and Sustainability of Enterpreneurship – Complementarity or Substitution?

Abstract

Companies in 2023 have to face many challenges and will have to face many challenges in the future, according to the current predictions of renowned agencies and institutions. The pursuit of financial stability for profit-seeking entities is undoubtedly one of the most critical. Achieving this is influenced by a number of factors, including sustainability factors. In addition to the generally applicable principles, respecting and implementing the sub-aspects of sustainability also has certain specificities. These may be determined, for example, by the sectoral affiliation of the company. The sector chosen in the following text will be the transport sector. The stability of the performance of this sector will be examined in relation to selected sustainability factors. As transport is one of the largest polluters of the environment, transport performance is examined in the context of air emissions. The examination is carried out at EU Member State level in the timeframe 2011 and 2021, in relation to the EU strategy for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
