Sustainable Development: A Manager’s Handbook
Sustainable Development has changed the management paradigm. Sustainable Development recognizes the desirability of economic growth and change, and acknowledges the right to pursue economic goals, including sales and profits. However, for Development to be Sustainable, to-day’s decisions must allow future generations to enjoy a quality of life at least as desirable as ours. Of particular concern is damage to the environment, since such damage may pose a threat to future human health, and may severely restrict the opportunities of future generations. This handbook will alert you to today’s Sustainable Development issues, it will assist you in coping successfully with new risks and challenges, and it will encourage you to investigate new opportunities. Becoming more knowledgeable about Sustainable Development is good business practice.
