DEFINITION

The United Nations World Commission on Environment and Development (WCED) in its 1987 report Our
Common Future defines sustainable development: "Development that meets the needs of the present without
compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.

Under the principles of the United Nations Charter the Millennium Declaration identified principles and
treaties on sustainable development, including economic development, social development and
environmental protection.
sustainable development is a systems approach to growth and development and to manage natural,
produced, and social capital for the welfare of their own and future generations

Sustainable development is presented as a more or less clean break from other modes of development, which
have led and are still leading to worrying social and ecological damage on both a worldwide and a local scale.

Development must combine three main elements:
1.fairness,
2.protection of the environment, and
3.economic efficiency.

A sustainable development project must be based on a better-developed mode of consultation between the
community and the members it comprises

HISTORY

1. The think tank known as the Club of Rome, created in 1968, advocated zero growth. This group unites scientists,
economists, national and international civil servants, and industrialists from 53 countries.
(a) It considers the complex problems that face all societies, whether industrialized or developing.
(b) In 1971, this private international association sounded an urgent alarm by publishing The Limits to Growth.
2. The United Nations Conference on the Human Environment in Stockholm in 1972 gave birth to the first true notion of
sustainable development, which was called eco development
3. In the 1980s, when the general public became aware of acid rain, the hole in the ozone layer, and the greenhouse effect, etc.
4. In 1980, the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) published its world conservation strategy

In the Gro Harlem Brundtland report 'Our common future', published in 1987.

(a) As the Prime Minister of Norway and the chair of the World Commission on Environment and Development (WCED) at
the time, she aimed to clarify this concept of sustainable development as development that fulfils the needs of the present
without compromising the ability of future generations to fulfil theirs.
The concept of sustainable development is based on a set of requirements. It must allow the basic needs of present and
future generations to be fulfilled with regard to demographic constraints, such as:
1. access to water,
2. education,
3. health,
4. employment, and
5. the fight against hunger or malnutrition.
6. Another aim of this type of development is to improve quality of life, which involves easier access to medical care, social
services, culture, and therefore also social well-being

Sustainable Development can be defined with four principles
1. Eliminate contribution to systematic increases in concentrations of substances from the earths crust.

2. Eliminate contribution to systematic increases in concentrations of substances produced by society.
3. Eliminate contribution to the systematic physical degradation of nature through over-harvesting,
introductions and other forms of modification.
4. Contribute as much as we can to the meeting of human needs in our society and worldwide.

general operation,
management systems, and reporting

1.The most broadly accepted criterion for corporate sustainability constitutes a firms efficient use of natural capital.
This eco-efficiency is usually calculated as the economic value added by a firm in relation to its aggregated ecological impact.

This idea has been popularised by the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD) under the following
definition:

A. "Eco-efficiency is achieved by the delivery of competitively priced goods and services that satisfy human needs and bring
quality of life, while progressively reducing ecological impacts and resource intensity throughout the life-cycle to a level at
least in line with the earths carrying capacity.

B. Socio-efficiency
]
describes the relation between a firm's value added and its social impact.
