Introduction: This paper requires the identification of two positive and two negative practices concerning sustainability utilizing the triple bottom line.
Successful organizations today need to focus on sustainability and the triple bottom line (people, planet, profit). In the past, many organizations were primarily only concerned with profit; however, with issues such as global warming there is a need to focus on the critical aspect of sustainability. Companies need to help reduce their negative impact on people and the planet and bring focus back to creating an environmentally friendly organization.
Select an organization to assess sustainability. Be sure that you are able to find sufficient data on the company you choose related to their vision, mission and sustainability goals. Evaluate the sustainability practices of the company by assessing two positive and two negative practices concerning sustainability as it applies to people, the planet, or profit.
