Emerging literature on industrial sustainability suggests that business model innovation may offer a means to facilitating enhanced sustainability. However, there is still a relatively limited understanding of how such innovation might be undertaken in practice. This paper presents preliminary findings from three case studies of Italian firms, and forms part of a larger project exploring business models for sustainability. Learning from the cases provides interesting insights into the drivers, enablers, and some unanticipated additional aspects of business model innovation for sustainability, and so contributes to extending the current body of knowledge.

Abstract
Emerging literature on industrial sustainability suggests that business model innovation may offer a means to facilitating enhanced sustainability. However, there is still a relatively limited understanding of how such innovation might be undertaken in practice. This paper presents preliminary findings from three case studies of Italian firms, and forms part of a larger project exploring business models for sustainability. Learning from the cases provides interesting insights into the drivers, enablers, and some unanticipated additional aspects of business model innovation for sustainability, and so contributes to extending the current body of knowledge.
