“A widely accepted definition of sustainability is to “…meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs” (Brundtland Commission, 1987).  Sustainability is not solely about environmental stewardship, although many people use the terms sustainability and environmental sustainability synonymously the social and economic dimensions are equally important.”  (Source: Indiana State University)

The Business Sustainability Association provides a forum for organisations, large and small, that want to protect the environment and reduce operating costs by reducing consumption of natural resources.  One of our key goals is to assist organisations participate in environmentally friendly business practise,  without compromising the bottom line. 

“Corporate sustainability encompasses strategies and practices that aim to meet the needs of stakeholders today while seeking to protect, support and enhance the human and natural resources that will be needed in the future. Business and industry has a crucial role to play in helping Australia to become more sustainable and competitive. As a result, many Australian organisations and industries are responding by reducing their environmental impacts and risks through improved environmental management practices and efficient use of natural resources.”    The Australian Government Department of Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities
