Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Dr. Gro Bruntland defined sustainable development as “a development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.” This foundational definition of sustainable development has been the essence of environmental sustainability movement in the past few decades. It is argued that the stated definition, which urges us to look at the long-term viability of our environment, should also be applied to business organizations. The necessity for the long-term view of business organizations is quite evident if we consider that in the past two decades, we have endured seven of twelve largest corporate bankruptcies in US corporate history, the recession of 2007 that was a direct result of unsustainable banking practices focusing on short-term financial gains, and dozens of corporate scandals from diverse industries including some of the most revered companies like Volkswagen, Johnson and Johnson, and Toyota. Many of these corporate debacles could have been avoided if the management of these companies had invested in sustainable policies related to corporate governance, finance, management, and human development. Hence, there is a need to pay attention to sustainable organizational practices that ensure that corporations create shared value for their various stakeholders, i.e., employees, shareholders, consumers, suppliers, and the community.
