As urbanisation and e-commerce reshape our world, Last-Mile Delivery (LMD) has become a critical link in the supply chain and a pivotal sustainability challenge. New research suggests that managers, city leaders, and researchers who focus solely on emissions should rather develop strategies that balance environmental, social, and economic goals and promote collaboration across individual, organisational, and systemic levels.

Did you know that Hanken's cutting-edge research is strongly related to sustainability? Hanken Research Day on 24 May presented examples of how the business school works with issues concerning the impact of business and economy on society. The participants got to take part of top research on responsible investments, equity in educational opportunities, sustainable transports, and green hydrogen.

Food security is defined as having sufficient access to food in order to maintain a healthy life. The mainstream approach to ensuring sufficient food and nutrition security is focused on production and consumption. New research shows that food security research and action need to emphasise distribution and retail in addition to agricultural production.

Livsmedelstrygghet brukar definieras som att ha tillräcklig tillgång till livsmedel för ett hälsosamt liv. Oftast fokuserar man på produktion och konsumtion man vill säkerställa en tillräcklig livsmedels- och näringstrygghet. Ny forskning visar att man också måste betona distribution och detaljhandel i samband med livsmedelstrygghet.

How could we increase sustainability in urban last mile deliveries? Can innovations both reduce the negative effects of e-commerce and simultaneously create a top delivery system for consumers? Hanken School of Economics is coordinating a Nordic research project that will dive into these questions.

Hur kan vi öka hållbarheten i slutskedet av leveranskedjan? Kan innovationer både minska de negativa effekterna av e-handel och samtidigt skapa effektiva leveranssystem för konsumenter. Hanken koordinerar ett nordiskt forskningsprojekt som fokuserar på de här frågorna.

New research discusses that the politics put forth in times of disaster tend to represent the interests of the powerful actors, rather than those of the marginalized people worst affected by the disaster.

Enligt ny forskning tenderar den politik som förs i katastroftider att representera de mäktiga samhällsaktörernas intressen snarare än de marginaliserade människor som drabbats värst av en katastrof.

Students at Hanken have participated in a study that examined how students in the metropolitan area view, among other things, housing, urban planning, and studies in the metropolitan area. The goal is to gather ideas and wishes on how to develop the metropolitan area and services for students.

Många alumner minns datacentralen i Hankens källare som lite unken, mörk och fylld med it-skrot av varierande kaliber. Hanken Business Lab och Markus Wartiovaara ändrade på allt det för tre år sedan. Vi träffar en Hankenalumn som gillat läget i företagsinkubatorn.

Money follows the best people and ideas, said Professor Bengt Holmström in the opening ceremony of Helsinki GSE. Professor Jean Tirole expected courage from politicians to admit that preventing climate change will require financial investment.

New research suggests that a democratization of the market economy is necessary for sustainable development. In order to tackle e.g. climate change and inequality, traditionally powerless actors need to participate in market organising processes.
