Future e-mobility – Implications of sustainability on the value chain of transport companies.

This article aims to use Michael E. Porter's framework of value chains to exemplify how ecological and social sustainability aspects generate competitive advantages and, therefore, economic growth exemplified within the E-Mobility-Paradigm of automotive manufacturers. For the purpose of conducting further research in the field of sustainability management, this article focuses on the missing link between sustainability actions and their integration into corporate strategies and value chains. Moreover, the link between the economic dimension and the ecological and social dimension is further researched. The research objective is the automotive industry, one of the leading and most essential industries worldwide, which faces tremendous changes due to the shift from combustion engines towards electric vehicles as a new mobility paradigm in the framework of sustainability.
