Abstract

For proper implementation of sustainability, two dimensions need to be taken into consideration, resource conservation and pollution prevention. Compromising on either the two would mean that future generations are deprived of their ability to meet their needs. Since resources are the building blocks of all economies, and a clean pollution free environment benefits the general welfare of the society, both the economic and social aspects are effectively addressed. A road map is developed to address the management and strategic requirements for the successful implementation of resource and environmental sustainability, which links various concepts that have been addressed independently and provides tools, flow path, and direction for implementation. Effective sustainability road maps provide a strategic approach, compliance/beyond compliance, resource sustainability, and supply chain sustainability.
