Abstract:

What is Sustainability Sustainability has many different meanings. The right thing to do, morally and ethically, for the survival of the planet. A guiding principle that mankind should embrace for the benefit of future generations. Essential to the long term availability of resources. Sustainability is a movement that overlaps religion and science. Sustainability is multidimensional within an organization. It is a systems-thinking approach that applies horizontally across every office and discipline, vertically through every level of management, and deep into every operation. Once specific goals are established and implemented throughout each of these dimensions, an organization can reap tremendous benefits over time.
