Sustainability is about meeting the needs of the present, without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs.

Corporate social responsibility [CSR] and triple bottom line considerations extend procurement decision-making criteria away from just price and quality to include the environmental merits, as well as the social impacts of alternative solutions.
