The Three Dimensions for Evaluating Sustainability

By: Lotfi Al-Sarori

We may thank the United Nations book “Our Common Future”, often known as “the Brundtland Report”, published in 1987 for introducing the concept of sustainable development (SD). It emphasized that the capacity to guarantee that development is sustainable when it fulfils the demands of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs is within humanity's grasp.

Today, sustainability goes beyond the environmental aspects to include social development and financial aspects. But how can organisations analyse their activities in light of this new broader definition of sustainability.

Save Earth for a better future

Have you ever asked yourself how are we over-consuming natural resources or why it is important to protect our home planet?

Earth is our home, it is what we need to survive, thrive, and develop. Earth’s nature provides us with all the essential factors that we need to be alive, including water, land, forests, oil, rocks, soils, fuels, animals, minerals, air, and others.

Tapping into the supply of Earth’s natural resources (renewable and non-renewable resources) is the basis of our life; we use all these resources to support our every day activities by producing food, buildings, energy, goods, vehicles, plastic, and other life necessities.
