Sustainability is a term that shapes many current debates like perhaps no other. The medium- and long-term consequences of actions, whether those of individuals or organizations, are being examined ever more closely. Short-term effects and success are becoming less important. More importance is being given to the long-term impact of decisions and acts – on people, on the economy, and on the planet.
