Being a sustainable company increasingly means staying alive in business and has become a necessity for all kinds of enterprises, from the micro-sized to global corporations. In more recent years, many companies, and indeed governments, have looked at sustainability as a means to combat the multiple challenges of environmental accidents, global warming, resource depletion, energy, poverty and pollution. \n\nHowever, being sustainable or maintaining sustainability is not an easy task for a companys management function. It needs continuous support and engagement.
