Sustainability and Social Responsibility

Sustainability is a societal goal that broadly aims for humans to safely co-exist on Earth over a long time. Sustainability is often focused on the environmental aspects. The most dominant environmental issues since around 2000 have been climate change, loss of biodiversity, loss of ecosystem services, land degradation, and air and water pollution.[6] Humanity is now exceeding several "planetary boundaries". A closely related concept is that of sustainable development. The terms are often used synonymously. Sustainable development is defined as development that "meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.

 

Corporate social responsibility (CSR) is a form of international private business self-regulation[1] which aims to contribute to societal goals of a philanthropic, activist, or charitable nature by engaging in or supporting volunteering or ethically oriented practices. Corporations are using the term creating shared value- an extension of corporate social responsibility to explain ways of doing business in a socially responsible way while making profits.
