Abstract
Sustainability awareness has become increasingly important to society and a matter of interest by scholars and professionals. This article presents an overview of the concept and its Triple Bottom Line and describes the three dimensions of the most commonly accepted models of sustainability – environmental, economic and social. Given the key role that sustainability plays in organisations, it is important that they incorporate sustainability into their strategies. Thus, after a discussion on sustainability implementation, the article examines some issues and examples of sustainability assessment and measurement.
