Corporations and government entities are realizing the benefits of strategic environmental health and safety management and how it can help assure their company's long-term success. The economic and social benefits are known as sustainable development and can have a very direct and positive impact on an organization's financial performance.

Sustainable development/social responsibility (SD/SR) starts at the board of directors and executive management level. SD/SR is a basic business philosophy that, in order to be effective, must be an integral part of a corporation's mission and vision.
