The three main areas of sustainability are commonly referred to as the “triple bottom line” or “3Ps” which include:

  1. Environmental sustainability: Refers to practices that promote the protection and preservation of natural resources and the environment, including reducing carbon emissions, conserving water and energy, and minimizing waste.

  2. Social sustainability: This focuses on promoting equitable and just social systems that support human well-being, such as promoting social justice, community development, human rights, and fair labor practices.

  3. Economic sustainability: This involves creating and maintaining economic systems that are efficient, resilient, and provide long-term value, including sustainable production and consumption patterns, fair trade, and responsible investment practices.

These three areas are interdependent, and achieving sustainability requires a balance between them.
