1.0 INTRODUCTION
Sustainability can be defined as the ability of something to maintain or
"sustain" itself over an extended time, or sustainability refers to the ability to meet our
demands without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their
requirements. Sustainability is more than just being concerned about the
environment. Most definitions of sustainability include considerations of social
equality and economic development and environmental aspects. Other than that,
sustainability is often defined as managing the triple bottom line, a process by which
companies manage their financial, social, and environmental risks, obligations, and
opportunities. These three impacts are sometimes called profits, people, and planet.
Sustainable businesses can survive shocks because they are intimately connected to
healthy economic, social, and environmental systems. These businesses create
economic value and contribute to healthy ecosystems and strong communities.
2.0 BODY PARAGRAPH
2.1 Environmental Sustainability (PLANET)
Environmental health affects the well-being of humans in many ways.
According to the World Health Organization, 24 per cent of the world's fatalities can
be attributed to preventable environmental conditions. Humans need clean air and
water to breathe, freshwater to drink, and safe living places. Environmental
sustainability also referred to as "planet", is the most commonly mentioned aspect.
Specifically, it is focused on reducing carbon footprints and water consumption and
non-compostable packaging and wasteful operations as they relate to a supply chain.
