Sustainability is both a short term and long term goal - to use our natural resources in a manner that meets our current needs while ensuring that future generation's needs can be met.

Each individual, organization, government and business has a role to play in achieving sustainability. For business, this role is Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). CSR can take many forms from embracing philanthropic activities, to "going green" in particular areas of business, to taking on new company-wide strategies that focus on doing business in a manner that maximizes profit, reduces environmental impact, and improves social impact.
