Sustainability Defined
Ask anyone to define sustainability and you’ll probably get a different answer every time.
While some focus on the environmental side of sustainability, others include economics, communities, infrastructure, and health.
For example, the UN’s sustainable development goals encompass a broad spectrum of environmental goals such as clean energy and climate action as well as goals for economic growth, hunger, poverty, health, education, equality, peace, and justice.
Companies often categorize sustainability into three pillars: Environment, Social, and Economic.
