Sustainability is a globally relevant topic that impacts on every aspect of every business, and needs to be implemented within a strategic context. Beyond its obvious focus on the environment, sustainability also concerns itself with employees and earnings. This is known as the sustainability triple bottom line, i.e., “Planet / People / Profit”, or Environment / Social / Governance, “ESG”.
Worldwide, customers, suppliers, and regulators are demanding businesses achieve all three pillars of sustainability, i.e., the environment, social, and governance pillars.
