Description

Sustainability has been described as "Meeting our needs while not compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs" (Brundtland Commission) or "Not cheating our children" (former United Kingdom Environment Minister John Gummer). Sustainability resides within three foundational pillars of society: economic, social, and environment. Environmental sustainability and CSR are agenda items in boardrooms around the world not only as corporate stewardship discussion points, but as a strategic imperative and requirement so be successful.
