Sustainability is one of the key concepts underlying our thinking
about corporate responsibilities, particularly with respect to the
environment and inter-generational justice, but also in relation to
corporate governance and the long-term economic viability. The
advantages of the discourse of Sustainability are that it brings
together contemporary economic and moral imperatives in the context
of scientific knowledge. Its disadvantages relate to its open-ended
content, its systematic ambiguity, and the internal tensions
between economic growth, human survival and global justice. The
essays in this volume reflect these strengths and weaknesses from a
variety of viewpoints - economic, scientific, social and
philosophical. They illustrate and illuminate the varied and
contested content and utility of this currently popular concept and
point to its multiple implications for the development of corporate
responsibilities.
