With enterprises world over redefining the very purpose of their existence from profit-making to include societal and environmental responsibilities, sustainability has taken a centre stage for these business entities. Governments, not-for-profit organizations and social activist groups are also equally concerned about the overall impact of economic development on environmental and societal fabric.
