"Corporate sustainability in investment can fall under the terms ESG for environment, social, and governance or the acronym SRI which stands for socially responsible investment. The Environmental Pillar The environmental pillar often gets the most attention. Companies are focusing on reducing their carbon footprints, packaging waste, water usage and their overall effect on the environment. The Social Pillar The social pillar ties back into another poorly defined concept: social license. A sustainable business should have the support and approval of its employees, stakeholders and the community it operates in. The Economic Pillar The economic pillar of sustainability is where most businesses feel they are on firm ground. To be sustainable, a business must be profitable. That said, profit cannot trump the other two pillars."
