Organisational Sustainability Reframing the community perspective

Organisational sustainaility is a 9ourney not an end point# On this 9ourney there are numerousinternational principles and references to guide our process# n recent years we have alsowitnessed the emergence of organisational sustainaility as a mainstream re(uirement for notonly pulicly listed companies, ut for all companies who operate gloally# n addition, caronreporting, caron reductions and caron offsets, to create a low or .ero caron usinessoperations, has evolved into an industry of its own#
