2 What is Sustainability? “A sustainable community uses its resources to meet current needs while ensuring that adequate resources are available for future generations.” (Source: World Commission on Environment and Development 1987) Sustainability is about “meeting the need of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs”. (Source: U.N. Agenda 21) Sustainability is becoming a corporate imperative. Corporations are being ranked on their ability to integrate business practices that meet economic, social and environmental goals.
