Are we at a tipping point of sustainability? Since the issue of sustainable business practices has come under serious scrutiny in the mid-twentieth century, there has been a belief in many quarters that businesses pay lip service to the concept. Yet, there have been increasing numbers of studies that show that businesses are embracing sustainability, and moreover leading them to improved corporate financial performance. Movements started by the United Nations and sundry other bodies have also promoted corporate social responsibility initiatives and, as well as wider benefits to society as a whole, benefits are also anticipated for internal stakeholders. It seems that the win-win vision for many of the early proponents of sustainability is just a few footsteps away.
