INTRODUCTION

Organizations are increasingly expected to create long-term value while managing environmental pressures, social expectations, governance responsibilities, and changing stakeholder demands. Sustainability has therefore become a strategic management priority affecting investment, operations, reputation, risk, innovation, and competitive positioning.
