I got Sustainable Business Practices in International Trade as my dissertation topic while exploring project topics for international business management. At first, I was simply curious about how sustainability fits into global trade, but as I researched more, I realized how important it has become for companies worldwide. Many businesses are now focusing on reducing waste, using renewable energy, and following ethical production methods. Working on this topic helped me understand that sustainability is not just about protecting the environment but also about building long-term trust and responsibility in international markets. This dissertation taught me that future business success depends on balancing profit with purpose and caring for the planet while growing globally.
