In recent decades, there have been valiant attempts across all sectors and governing bodies to distinguish how businesses can establish themselves and become more sustainable. Despite good intentions, a large number of businesses have failed to accurately determine the precise strategies for becoming and maintaining a sustainable business. The growing concept of sustainable business is largely based on the principle of sustainable development. Founded in the 1980s, Sustainable Development was developed to promote sustainable living through the sustainable production of goods and services, to provide solutions to meet basic needs to improve people's lives, now and in the future, with the least impact environmental as possible and the greatest possible economic impact. and social performance (Christensen, Thrane, & Herroborg, 2009).

If this is done, the common goal established through the concept of sustainable development can be achieved in all companies.
