Nowadays, several communities, organizations, institutions and corporations face enormous challenges when dealing their social, economic, and environmental resources are damaged or depleted. Because these elements of communities are interconnected, there are no simple answers; therefore the recent research on Sustainable Development has led to a series of ongoing initiatives that have emerged into some current social responsible practices. The interdependencies of the economic, environmental, societal, political and participative elements of our world require new ways of thinking about things and taking action that will truly create a future where human society , natural environment and economic benefit coexist with reciprocal benefit for the stakeholders at large.

Sustainable development calls for improving the quality of life by shifting the thinking towards a holistic perspective of the resources, rather than on a perspective of increase usage of resources, we tend to re-structure distribution of resource in a coherent manner. Overall the efforts to build a truly sustainable mode and lifestyle require an integrated approach within these three key domains:

Economic Expansion and Equity - Global economic and production systems demand on a highly sophisticated integrated approach in order to foster long-term results within a responsible framework, while maintaining a high achieved sense of equity among the different members of the system.

Conservation and the Environment - The concept relative to the preservation of the heritage, be it human, natural, historical for the benefit of the future generations which will guarantee and foster viable solutions which drastically and focally aim at the reduction of consumption and depletion of resources, control and gradual phase out of the issues related and caused by pollution and the preservation of natural habitats.

Social Development - Organizations and corporations which acquire a strong sense of their own impacts, they become organizations which look into the procurement of jobs, healthy food, programmatic and accessible educational models, access to clean and renewable energy, innovation and creativity of alternative production methodologies, sanitation of water and proportionate use of water resources for the industrial and commercial usage. The above areas can only foster a human sense of sustainability which is surrounded by a larger respect for diversity, optimization of human resources within different strata of the societal fabrics through developmental activities and intellectual growth, acquisition of responsibility when dealing with the problems and their solutions.

The Institute for Sustainable Development and Corporate Responsible Practices, wants to consult companies, NGOs, organizations and institutions to the creation of healthy human and environmental environment, which create competitive edge in areas of technology, agriculture, supplies, security, politics, governance, climate awareness and environmentally friendly practices, productive and maximize human resources which are well integrated within the diversified realms of the corporate and personal spheres.

Sustainable development is a new way of thinking about the interrelationships which occur and manifest among social, economic, natural and political systems in the world. It is a unique approach to a process in which economics, trade, commerce, natural resources, supply chains, consumers? relations, financial activities, industrial and manufacturing processes are implemented in a developmental way where the ultimate goal is to meet the needs of the present without compromising the abilities and the possibilities of all future generations.
