large

A sustainability framework structured by the holistic integration of resources and functions flowing from core social (community), environmental, and economic branches of an organization. This multidimensional approach relates practices and creates value to generate beneficial results for the organization and stakeholders alike. Processes and infrastructure are contextualized by sustainability initiatives, specifically illustrated here, the 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, (SDG). The SDGs were adopted in 2015 as a global, shared blueprint of sustainable actions that aim to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure prosperity for all. Drivers that help fuel and maneuver sustainability success include technology, strategy, governance, engagement, communications, innovation, transparency, collaborations, and adaptive management. This simplified model may be tailored to identify opportunities for better management of natural resources, to leverage collaborations and partnerships, and to inform improvements to infrastructure while increasing efficiency.
