What does the word sustainability mean in business?
Sustainability is meeting the needs of the present without compromising the needs of future generations.  A ‘sustainable business’ takes into account the role it plays in affecting the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.

 

How do businesses measure that?
A sustainable business not only looks to have a healthy economic bottom line, but also healthy social and environmental bottom lines.  This is known as a balance between people, planet, profit or the triple bottom line.
