The United Nations defines sustainability as “meeting the needs of the present without compromising future generations' ability to meet their own needs.” Another insightful definition is based on the Planetary Boundary definition, which is "Ensuring that human society operates within ecological boundaries". If we apply this to how organizations/corporates operate, environmental sustainability requires organizations to be stewards of the physical environment. Environmental risks threaten the planet and the global economy. Organizations that consider the impact of their activities on the environment will be better prepared to manage the associated risks, while simultaneously pursuing innovative opportunities to support the achievement of three Ps (Planet, People, Profit).
