The rapidly developing research area ofenvironmental, social and sustainable entrepreneurship has flourished for thelast two decades and improved our understanding of the phenomenon.However, while a contribution to sustainable development is often stated ingeneral terms or implied, most of the sustainable entrepreneurship literaturefocuses on classifications, motivations, processes and specific outcomeswithout explicit links to how planetary boundaries are addressed.
