Business Operations, Sustainability PracticesAbstract
Sustainability has emerged as a critical component of corporate operations in recent years, indicating a significant change in the way businesses see their social and environmental responsibilities. In the corporate world, sustainability is not only a fad but a revolutionary movement that redefines success in ways other than standard financial measurements. It includes a wide range of procedures designed to guarantee that corporate operations are carried out in a way that is both economically and socially responsible as well as ecologically sound. This paradigm shift highlights how crucial it is to satisfy present wants without sacrificing the capacity of future generations to satisfy their own. Sustainability has become a key strategic focus for firms as they become more aware of the connections between social responsibility, environmental stewardship, and economic performance.
