Today, every organization needs to make a decision: Continue as before, relying on ideas and practices that lead to the situation we have now - or fundamentally change the way we perceive and interact with reality. Sustainable businesses and organizations consider economic, ecological, social, and technological opportunities, engage in policymaking and manage their external impacts.
