We are in a period of historic change in which the pace and scale of changes dwarf our past experience. HR Professionals need to develop a comprehensive sustainability strategy that focuses on four factors: environmental, economic, social and cultural. Only then will the business become truly sustainable. A focus purely on the environmental component will not be enough.
