Abstract
As we move into the 21st century, human institutions, from local to global, are facing many economic, social and environmental challenges. Sustainable development is that which is economically viable, socially acceptable and environmentally sound. Development is not sustainable if it does not integrate all three elements. It implies long-term synergy through changes in business practices and lifestyles, as well as the adoption of environmental and social standards to stay within the limits of available resources.
