Sustainability is the ability of businesses to operate in ways that meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. It involves managing resources responsibly and balancing economic, environmental, and social factors to ensure long-term viability and success.
Sustainable business practices include reducing waste, using resources efficiently, maintaining ethical labour practices, and considering the environmental impact of products. By focusing on sustainability, businesses aim to minimise their negative impact on the planet while creating positive outcomes for society and ensuring continued profitability.
