Sustainability has become an important issue on the business agenda for several reasons. Surveys show that over 90% of CEOs see sustainability as important to business success. Additionally, increasing public awareness of issues like climate change, pollution and human rights has put pressure on businesses to address sustainability. A number of political milestones and business events, from the Limits to Growth report to the Kyoto Protocol, have also brought sustainability to the forefront. While businesses initially resisted addressing sustainability issues, most now see benefits to integrating sustainability into their core strategies and operations for competitive advantage and long-term success.
