What is Sustainable Enterprise?
Sustainable enterprise is a way of doing business that creates profit while avoiding harm to people and the planet. It measures success in terms of a “triple bottom line”:
- Financial profitability
- Ecological integrity
- Social equity
Developing sustainable business strategies relies on innovative analysis of market opportunities and identification of solutions that frequently “leapfrog” existing products, technologies, and business solutions.
