What are corporate responsibility and business sustainability?

Find out what the terms ‘corporate responsibility’ and ‘business sustainability’ mean.

We define corporate responsibility and business sustainability as the actions, activities, and obligations of businesses in achieving sustainability.

Sustainability is maintaining the world’s resources rather than depleting or destroying them. This will ensure they support human activity now and in the future.

Sustainable development describes a process by which we get to sustainability.

It involves reconnecting business, society and the environment and recognising their interdependence.

It is important to note that without the environment neither business nor society could exist. This is why sustainability is a strategic imperative for business.
