Development, Sustainability and Climate change
Awareness of climate change and its implications for the global community has increased over the recent past. So much so that it is no longer the preserve of scientists, students and environmental campaigners in developed countries. In some circles, the discusssion has shifted from which industries are responsible in developed countries and why developing countries should refrain for using their natural resources in order to support affluence in developed countries. Now, there is greater concern about what can be done to minimise the impact of climate change on lives and livelihoods in developing and development countries. What actions (simple, but effective) can be taken by individuals, households, communities and businesses dominate many conversations on climate change. The focus is on taking ACTION rather than merely engaging in discussion.
Triple Botton Line Approach
Competitiveness in the modern marketplace demand that 21st century businesses have to pay attention to more that just the single bottom line -profitability. Instead, social and environmental issues must be considered along with economic considerations when pursuing profits. Simultaneously, owner-managed and shareholder-owned businesses must ensure that a high return is received on investment.
Corporate Social Responsibility and Sustainability in Business are strategies developed and applied in innovative ways to build relations with their stakeholders. This approach allow management and business owners to integrate environmental and social considerations in reducing operational costs.
