    What are the differences between sustainability, corporate social responsibility and shared value concepts?

    CSR is refers to the idea that for business to be successful it must assume responsibilities to stakeholders that extend beyond profit maximisation for shareholders or owners. An underlying premise is that companies are most successful when they take into account the fulfilment of economic, legal, environmental, ethical and community responsibilities.

    Sustainability or Sustainable Development is development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.

    Share Value focuses on how to unlock company value by linking social and business results; it is where companies focus on making investment choices that enhance long term competitiveness which simultaneously address social and environmental objectives.
