In an era, where the current economic climate is heavily being influenced by environmental and ecological resource issues, organizations are being challenged to think about the way in which their business choices impact the environment and the community. Sustainable development means providing for current human needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs. 

This industry impact on sustainability can be summarized by the Triple Bottom Line (TBL) which involves three essential components - environmental responsibility, economic prosperity and social equity. Sustainability metrics are key performance indicators useful in measuring an organizations progress towards a more sustainable operation.
