Abstract

Sustainability and sustainable development are on the national agenda for most countries, with many incorporating the 2030 SD goals in their national policy documents. Sustainability is also a critical focus for businesses and social sector organisations but from an organisational sustainability perspective. Focusing on the Caribbean, this chapter firstly provides an overview of sustainability at the national level, examining the operational implication to the business and sector organisation and pointing towards the need for effective social sector operational performance. It then looks at business sustainability strategies, demonstrating functional similarities to NPOs and applicability for their operational sustainability and the double bottom-line mission of financial viability and social impact.
