Question

anonymous · Answer

This is not my answer,I took it from somewhere else: "The term "Sustainability" primarily refers to Corporate Sustainability. This can be viewed as gradually evolving corporate management paradigm. This term -- paradigm - is used deliberately in that corporate sustainability is an alternative to the traditional growth and profit maximising model. While this recognizes that growth and corporate profits are important, it also requires a company to persue social goals; goals, which are related to sustainable development. These goals are social justice and equity, environmental protection and overall development of economy.
