Sustainability

Sustainability is a broad discipline. In context of business, Sustainability inspires and enable business to lead the way to a sustainable economy.
There is no universally agreed definition on what sustainability means. However, The United Nation’s 1987 Report of the World Commission on Environment and Development: Our Common Future noted that sustainable development meets the needs of the present without compromising the well-being of future generations.
The concept continues to expand in scope. In 2000, the Earth Charter broadened the definition of sustainability to include the idea of a global society “founded on respect for nature, universal human rights, economic justice, and a culture of peace.”
To achieve sustainability, we have to evaluate our policies on:
•             Environmental protection.
•             Social responsibility.
•             Economic practice.
