Sustainability has been given multiple definitions but for the sake of simplicity with respect to ecological constraints, it may be defined as meeting the needs of current generations without compromising the needs of future generations. The foundation of human civilization and economic enterprise is intact ecological function and “free” environmental services. Sustainability is a process, not a destination. Responsibility for transitioning towards greater sustainability rests with everyone, though businesses are in a unique position to be leaders by example through profitable innovation. Rather than waiting for governmental regulations to establish benchmarks, businesses are well-advised to generate their own momentum to not only differentiate themselves from their competition but to stay ahead of the regulatory curve as well as avoid penalties.
