Organizations Facing Triple Bottom Line Challenges and Global Disruption
28-29 nov. 2025
TUNIS, TUNISIA - TUNIS (Tunisie)
Since the Kyoto Protocol (1997) and the UN's 2030 Agenda, firms have faced growing institutional pressure to embed Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) into their strategies, notably through the Triple Bottom Line (TBL) framework, which integrates economic, social, and environmental goals (Elkington, 1998; Pasamar et al., 2023; Li et al., 2025). Yet sustainability is not limited to corporations; it requires shared responsibility across economic actors, institutions, and citizens worldwide (Isil & Hernke, 2017). This drive towards global sustainability governance is now challenged by major geopolitical shifts. The rejection of the Paris Agreement and the WHO by some states, along with rising trade barriers, reflect a “doctrine of global disruption” (Miran, 2024), culminating in declarations of “economic war on the world.” Such unpredictable protectionism, labelled the “Monroe Doctrine 2.0” (Pires & Nascimento, 2020), fuels systemic instability and undermines multilateral commitments on climate, trade, and financial cooperation (Park, 2024). The notion of “disruption”, originally developed in the field of strategic management (Christensen, 1997), now refers to radical, unilateral repositioning strategies that upset the balance of international institutions. Organisations thus find themselves facing a major tension: on the one hand, growing sustainability requirements stemming from the multilateral agenda; on the other, geopolitical instability undermining economic, ecological, and social balances. In this uncertain and fragmented context, they are required to demonstrate innovation and resilience in order to adapt to unprecedented challenges. The 9th edition of the LIGUE Annual Conference (LIC'25) forms part of an ongoing dynamic of dialogue between researchers and economic actors, centred on the contemporary challenges facing organisations in Tunisian, African, and international contexts. In continuity with previous editions, it promotes the exploration of a wide range of themes, encouraging innovation, openness, and diversity of perspectives. In this spirit, six thematic tracks have been outlined, each addressing a key facet of current transformations.
