Publication Year: 2008
In a nutshell, sustainable development focuses on the inter-relationships between financial, social and environmental performance. Many companies are now actively seeking to pull these together under a competitive strategy that captures the “triple bottom line.” There is the very real potential for competitive advantage to be increasingly rooted in such new capabilities as pollution prevention, design for environment, social responsiveness, and stakeholder negotiation.
