SOCIAL
SUSTAINABILITY
The first six of the UN Global Compact's principles focus
on this social dimension of corporate sustainability, of
which human rights are the cornerstone. Our work on
social sustainability also covers the human rights of
specific groups: labor, women's empowerment, gender
equality, children, indigenous peoples, and people with
disabilities, as well as people-centered approaches to
business impacts on poverty. As well as covering groups
of rights holders, social sustainability encompasses
issues that affect them, for example, education and
health.

SUSTAINABILITY
The first six of the UN Global Compact's principles focus on this
social dimension of corporate sustainability, of which human
rights are the cornerstone. Our work on social sustainability
also covers the human rights of specific groups: labor, women’s
empowerment, gender equality, children, indigenous peoples,
and people with disabilities, as well as people-centered
approaches to business impacts on poverty. As well as covering
groups of rights holders, social sustainability encompasses
issues that affecting them, for example, education and health.
10
Principles of Social
Sustainability
• Quality of Life
Quality of life has a big role to play in ensuring
social sustainability. The term “quality of life” refers
to a broad topic that includes a variety of factors
that influence our ability to live. For instance, access
to support services, affordable housing, physical
and mental health care, educational and training
possibilities, work options, and, of course, safety
and security.
11
Principles of Social
Sustainability
•Equality
Equality is known as reducing disadvantages for
particular groups or assisting those groups in
overcoming obstacles so they can have more
control over their life. It also entails figuring out how
to lessen disadvantages by recognizing their
sources and causes. This is an important defining
characteristic of social sustainability.
12
Principles of Social
Sustainability
•Diversity
This social sustainability dimension is crucial in
ensuring that every community gets adequate
representation. Finding needs from many diverse
groups of various groups of people, evaluating
those requirements, and providing education are all
part of the concept of diversity.
13
Principles of Social
Sustainability
•Democracy
Proper and fair administration is required to ensure
that the community’s budget and resources are
adequate to sustain sustainability programs.
14
Principles of Social
Sustainability
•Social Cohesion
Social cohesion ensures participation from every
group in the community. Social cohesion entails
encouraging individual participation within a target
group as well as facilitating access for target groups
to public and civic organizations. Building
connections between various target groups in a
larger sense by encouraging target groups to make
contributions to society as well is an important
factor.
15
ENVIRONMENTAL
SUSTAINABILITY
Environmental sustainability is the responsibility to
conserve natural resources and protect global ecosystems
to support health and wellbeing, now and in the future.
Because so many decisions that impact the environment
are not felt immediately, a key element of environmental
sustainability is its forward-looking nature. In fact,
the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency defines it as
“meeting today’s needs without compromising the ability
of future generations to meet their needs.”
16
ENVIRONMENTAL
SUSTAINABILITY
PRACTICES
• Alternative Transportation
Alternative transportation options include:
•Commuting by walking, riding a bike, or using public transit
instead of driving. If you have to drive, try carpooling
•Reducing electricity use from elevator operation by taking the
stairs. Burn some calories and conserve energy at the same
time
•Reducing unnecessary travel by replacing in-person meetings
with video calls, webinars, and recorded presentations
•When driving is necessary, learn how to save money on
gas or buy and drive fuel-efficient and alternative fuel vehicles.
17
ENVIRONMENTAL
SUSTAINABILITY
PRACTICES
• Pollution Prevention and Waste Reduction
Reduce, reuse, and recycle are the core principles of wise
resource use. Reduce pollution and waste by:
•Reducing paper use by replacing printed documents like
agendas and reports with electronic versions
•Printing double-sided to save paper and energy when
hard copies are necessary
•Choosing reusable water bottles, cups, and utensils
instead of disposable ones
•Disposing of plastic, aluminum, and paper in the proper
recycling bins.
18
ENVIRONMENTAL
SUSTAINABILITY
PRACTICES
Reduce Energy Use
When appliances are turned off, they continue to consume
small amounts of electricity, known as standby power. Reduce
energy consumption from standby power by:
•Unplugging cell phone and laptop chargers when not in use
•Turning off speakers, lights, and other electrical equipment
when not in use
•Simplifying evening shut down by plugging all devices,
except your computer, into a power strip
•Trading or upgrading a desktop to a laptop, which use less
energy and is portable.
19
Economic
Sustainability
Economic sustainability refers to practices that
support the long-term economic development of
a company or nation while also protecting
environmental, social, and cultural elements.
Today, economic sustainability is a goal that very
few organizations achieve, despite a fairly
universal understanding of what types of
business practices (e.g., burning of fossil fuels,
creating food waste, leveraging harmful
manufacturing methods) contribute to climate
change.
20
3 Economic
Sustainability Examples
1. Devising less wasteful systems
Innovating ways to reduce land use or make
supply chains more efficient cuts down on the
resources needed to produce a good or bring it
to market. Learn more about how to reduce
waste.
21
3 Economic
Sustainability Examples
2. Prioritizing low-impact economic
development:
Investing time and money in sustainable
businesses to create a waste-free world is
necessary for shifting concentrations of capital
and momentum for the future economy.
22
3 Economic
Sustainability Examples
3. Switching to renewable
energy sources:
Converting operations to run on energy produced
by solar or wind power rather than fossil fuels is
one way an organization can prioritize the future.
Learn more about the impact of fossil fuels.
