Growth

2. “Sustainable development is
development that meets the
needs of the present
without compromising the
ability of future generations
to meet their own needs.”

3. Sustainability is about creating strong, inclusive growth based on a foundation of economic, social, and
environmental commitment.
Importance of Sustainability
Scarce natural resources and the awareness of the need for higher resource efficiency have brought Sustainability
into increasing focus among stakeholders. Moreover, consumer awareness and engagement is driving purchasing
decisions and consumption patterns that are motivated by environmental and ethical factors. An expanding
regulatory environment and employee preferences for environmentally committed companies highlight the need for
businesses to have a mindset driven by Sustainability.
By focusing on Sustainability, companies can obtain value through brand enhancement, cost reduction, risk
management, and business model innovation. While most companies have a good understanding of traditional risks
associated with shareholder value, such as securing assets, achieving regulatory compliance and increasing returns on
investment, risks associated with Sustainability issues are often overlooked. The emergence of a consensus in recent
years that Sustainability creates value has inspired Deloitte’s current service offerings to aid clients.
