With global warming on the rise and rapidly depleting non-renewable sources of energy, the world is shifting towards sustainable development. More and more countries and businesses are incorporating practices that will help in conserving energy resources and protect the environment while ensuring economic growth and development. The system entails that the development of today does not compromise the ability of future generations to meet their requirements.
“Ensuring sustainable growth by protecting environment including climate change, having safe work place and conserving energy”
The idea of sustainable development once popular only at a global level has now been adopted at local levels as well. Thus, while the framework might remain the same, they will be aligned with the different requirements of individual countries or regions. This also remains the same with individual organizations as they conform to the needs of the particular industry as well as their internal management system.
Need for Sustainable
Development Management Systems
Sustainable development aims to protect natural ecosystems to offer a secure environment for future generations. This includes the conservation of non-renewable resources that make up 85% of worldwide primary energy usage. All estimates suggest that with the current level of consumption, oil reserves will dry up around the middle of this century. Combustion of energy resources is also one of the key sources of greenhouse gas emissions. The need to reduce carbon emissions and pollution is self-explanatory, as it is increasingly affecting the health and wellbeing of the living beings on the planet. This shift is a long and slow process, but with some careful planning and determined efforts, it can be an effective move for both the environment as well as the businesses.
Considering the importance of this concept, international bodies have over the years published number of standards detailing management systems based on sustainable development. These standards mainly cover three broad objectives:
- Social well-being and just practices for employees & related parties in a workplace
- Protection and conservation of the environment as well as resources
- Business continuity and economic growth for the enterprise and stakeholders
Sustainable development is essential for continued growth at a global level and each organization must commit itself towards this goal. The international certifications entail that businesses maintain a continuous balance between human activities and the natural ecosystem. The standards developed for this reason offer guidelines that help organizations implement practical ways to move towards sustainable growth.
