What exactly do we mean by a “sustainable economy”? Or just the word “sustainable” for that matter? Common meanings for these terms can be elusive, but are important to advance the conversation and create meaningful change.
As noted on our Values & Principles page, our working definition of “sustainable economy” is: An economy that shares prosperity broadly and equitably, protects our natural resources, and encourages human flourishing within ecological limits.
Below are some links that explore different aspects of what “sustainability” means within the context of business and economic development.
