The concept of sustainability is ancient and simple; meeting the needs of the present without compromising the needs of future generations. Sustainability expands beyond environmental practices; it involves protecting natural resources and investing in human capital to ensure business resilience and financial stability. This focus on People, Planet, and Profit is known as the “Triple Bottom Line.” 

• PEOPLE is the impact an organization has on its most important stakeholders such as employees, customers, suppliers, and communities. Investing in people ensures greater employee retention and customer loyalty, supporting financial security.
• PLANET is how an organization affects the natural environment. Companies demonstrate environmental stewardship by reducing carbon footprints, minimizing waste, and restoring damaged ecosystems, often resulting in lower business costs.
• PROFIT is how organizations create and manage wealth, including monitoring how investments in “People” and “Planet” are paying off.
