This case study examines the company’s critical decision regarding an ambitious European Space Agency proposal: either fast-track production to seize a vast market opportunity or prioritize long-term sustainability commitments. The analysis explores Euro-Composites’ project-driven supply chain, the challenges of incorporating sustainable practices, and its alignment with international sustainability objectives, including the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. The case invites reflection on Euro-Composites’ strategic direction in the rapidly evolving New Space economy by exploring operational trade-offs and future industry implications.engNew spaceSpace miningSustainable supply chain managementTriple bottom lineSustainable development goalsBusiness strategyResourcesEuro Composites’ strategic dilemma: balancing sustainability within supply chains in the context of space miningmaster thesis203959574
