“…This approach reveals the importance of institutional change for sustainable development, as explained in "Our Common Future" [46] and stated in its operational definition, and as already internationally agreed on in 1992 in Agenda 21 where the institutional dimension is a separate chapter next to a socio-economic and environmental one. Similar to the fundamental sustainability principles the model aims for the harmonious integration, in a dynamic setting-as "a process of change"-of four pillars: (adapted from [66]). …”

Sustainable Development: A Bird’s Eye View

At the turn of the millennium, the world's political leadership adopted sustainable development as a leading model for societal development. However, the terms "sustainable development", "sustainability" and "sustainable" are sometimes over-and misused despite wide consensus about the concept's meaning among sustainability scholars and practitioners. While the concept allows various sustainability views to co-exist, random conceptualizations which do not respect the fundamental sustainability principles undermine the concept's objective to steer action. This lack of understanding of sustainability arguably inhibits its practical realization and a proper understanding of sustainability is urgently needed. In this paper we aim to contribute to a better understanding of sustainability by adopting a bird's eye perspective. We review the rich contemporary literature, with a specific focus on the terminology, genesis, fundamental principles, mainstream views of sustainability, and several governing aspects. Further, using the evolving body of sustainability literature, the paper provides arguments to combat common misconceptions of sustainability.

“…(ver Spangenberg 2004). Así que es posible, por lo tanto, para Daly (1992) argumentar que la economía del desarrollo es lo único que debe ser tratado y puede serlo a través del mercado mediante la clara separación de los tres objetivos económicos básicos tales como la asignación eficiente, la distribución equitativa, y la escala sostenible.…”

teresa Duarte-atoChe tduarte@us.es Universidad de Sevilla. España. resumenHay muchos aspectos de la responsabilidad social corporativa que llegan a manifestarse de diferentes formas en diferentes entornos, pero los derechos humanos son uno de los tres aspectos más importantes. Este trabajo comienza con una revisión de los derechos humanos y de su importancia en los entornos empresariales antes de considerar los matices de la discapacidad que son afectados por la Responsabilidad Social Corporativa. Este artículo centra su atención principalmente en la discapacidad intelectual que a menudo se trata como un tema invisible y se elimina del discurso y de cualquier consideración en la estrategia corporativa. Argumentamos que los beneficios de incorporar una preocupación por la discapacidad intelectual en la planificación corporativa pesan más que las desventajas, no sólo en términos sociales y de capital humano sino también en términos financieros. Concluimos afirmando que la incorporación de este aspecto en la planificación corporativa es esencial para desarrollar cualquier negocio sostenible. Palabras ClaveDiscapacidad; Discapacidad intelectual; Responsabilidad Social Corporativa; Sostenibilidad. abstraCtThere are many aspects of corporate social responsibility which become manifest in different ways in different environments but human rights remains one of the 3 most important aspects. This paper commences with a review of this field and of the importance of human rights in the corporate environment before developing into a consideration of the aspects of disability which are affected by corporate social responsibility. Attention is focused primarily upon intellectual disability which is often treated as an invisible topic and eliminated from the discourse and from any consideration in corporate strategy. In this paper we explore this subject and argue that the benefits of incorporating a concern for intellectual disability into corporate planning outweigh the disadvantages, not just in human capital and social terms but also in financial terms. Furthermore we argue that incorporating this into corporate planning is essential in order to develop any sustainable business.

“…WHY IS SUSTAINABILITY ASSESSMENT IM-PORTANT? Sustainability has become a key political and policy issue, permeating many areas of public and commercial activity, (Selman,2000), Spangenberg (2004), Devkota(2005), Keirstead and Leach (2007), Linnenluecke et al (2007). Although it grew out of environmental concerns, the Rio Earth Summit affirmed the equal status of socio-economic matters, and subsequent developments have framed these within a 'quality of life' or 'liveability' discourse (Selman, 2000).…”
