Sustainability
“Meeting our needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs” – from the 1987 World Commission on Environment and Development, commonly called the Brundtland Report
“If a business already has a sustainable development plan, it won’t need to scramble when a government passes more stringent legislation,” Kete says. “It will already have a competitive advantage when it comes to the environment and will, therefore, be in a better position to increase profits.” http://ethisphere.com/2020-global-sustainability-centers/
