9 PREFACE Sustainability is development that meets present needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs (United Nations 1987). To respond to this challenge, over the last few years, a wide array of visions and executable actions have been developed based on the principles of the triple bottom line (TBL). Basically, TBL looks at the economic, environmental, and social dimensions of businesses. Thus, sustainability issues here recognize the importance of businesses to make profit, proactively manage the environment for sustainability, and perform their social function such as job creation in their immediate and extended communities. Sustainability has taken increased importance in the world today as corporations continue to seek to maximize profits while constrained by the limited earth s resources. There is growing outcry about the depletion of nonrenewable resources and the increased damage that is being done on earth by pollution, deforestation, and incessant demand for earth s resources that may not be renewable or replenishable. A more responsible approach and alternative to the use of these limited resources is required. World communities have taken the lead by building consciousness about the potential dangers of not effectively planning for the future and also the threat that reckless usage of these resources pose for the future generation and for the future of existence on earth. Business organizations are reacting to this call for sustainability and are increasingly finding out that a focus on sustainability is economic wise and could help them to become more competitive. There are several examples where businesses have fared well by streamlining their processes and creating more value while minimizing waste and dependence on natural or nonrenewable resources. Companies have also done well by effectively evaluating and selecting product components that create less environmental hazards. This book is a handbook of sustainability management. The aim is to develop a comprehensive book that showcases the different strategies and approaches to achieve sustainability. Furthermore, it focuses on the diversity of opinions by including authors from around the globe so we can understand different perspectives and worldviews on this important issue. It will serve as a good reference book on sustainability management. Even though we aim to have a comprehensive handbook, ix

10 x Preface we understand that the topic of sustainability is evolving and quite dynamic so it is difficult to guarantee a book that is exhaustive of all the developments in this area. Organizations today stand to benefit from knowledge acquisition and knowledge transfer. They need to know best practices and they can benchmark such practices. Some of the best practices and how they were achieved are mentioned in several of the chapters covered in this book. Thus, this book will be a good reference source to both academicians and industry practitioners. Christian N. Madu Chu-hua Kuei Lubin School of Business Pace University, New York
