Corporations and sustainable development

In industrial terms, is sustainable development an "in" concept, a technocratic creation, a new consciousness... or something else? ?

Sustainable development is an answer to changes in the world, not to a change in fashion. It is a new managerial system, which offers the possibility of bringing together major industrial preoccupations such as environment, human resources, social relations, quality, safety, security... It is a federating concept, which brings back meaning into management by landing into its lap a number of policies that were so far dealt with separately.
