I think it is alarming that no one really mentions the fact that sustainability should involve mutual cooperation between economic entities like corporations and the environment. All in all the word means ‘being green’ or environment friendly, but it is so much more than that. I really haven’t heard this term being used in this way for more than a year or two, at least publicly.
