Introduction
To the Undergraduate Programme Manager,
In this report sustainability will be addressed as to how it has affected New Zealand, and it will be explained how the concept of sustainability is a megatrend. Sustainability is very important because we do not want to endanger or reduce the standard of living for consecutive generations (Wiley and Sons, 2010). Without basic resources such as air and water, there will surely be no life on earth in the future. Supply chains and globalized workforces have created pressure on the environment and in turn businesses. Sustainability has become an objective with which some organizations strive for such as the Sustainable Business Network. Sustainability will involve considering the long-term consequences of industry and production.
It will be explained why businesses develop sustainable practices, why sustainability is important to New Zealand and what the government and different organizations are accomplishing to make New Zealand sustainable. It will also explain New Zealand’s different industries that are environmentally friendly and on the way to being sustainable. New Zealand has a unique set of industries and organisations relied on for economic growth, most of which are having sustainable practices applied to.
This report will also take an insight into the right of development and sustainability of indigenous peoples and the challenges and opportunities faced when management is involved with human resource sustainability.
