Companies that embrace sustainability do not pursue financial gain at any cost. Rather they actively seek to change the world for the better; they recognize that sustainability and sustainable development should be of equal importance with employee well-being and profits — i.e., embracing the Triple Bottom Line or People, Planet, and Profit. In doing so, they assess the social, environmental, and economic aspects of any action so that it is as sustainable as possible. These organizations view sustainability and sustainable development as not only meeting the needs of the present but also seeking to build the kind of world that we want our children and grandchildren to inherit.
