dc.description.abstract	TEACHING NOTE: The case discusses the importance of articulating business and sustainability dimensions as part of the same process. As discussed by Hahn and his co-authors (e.g., Hahn et al., 2015) sustainability is not a linear journey. Rather, it involves many contradictory choices with paradoxical attributes. The case is especially useful for discussing the reasons why sustainability may be used as source of innovation and differentiation. In this sense, instead of imitating competitors because of the lack of alternatives, the case can be used to discuss paradox as a source of competitive advantage.	en_US
