Abstract

‘Sustainable development’ is an idea that the business sector has turned its attention to in recent years. Hidden within these two words are ethical and moral values which affect all of humanity; values which have encouraged the change of orientation for organisations, from a pure shareholder view to a wider stakeholder one. This change has been tectonic because it implies that businesses do not exist for their own sake alone but are part of the warp and weft of society as a whole. Sustainable development, therefore, assumes that growth is possible and can occur in ways which enhance human being while ensuring the survival of the planet. In sum businesses operate in both local and global contexts; with an eye on economic and social measures of success.
