Abstract
Sustainability relates to the degree to which an enterprise business incrementally and in an ongoing basis creates value to its customers and shareholders, captures value from its diverse assets (tangible and intangible), and attracts investors. Enterprise businesses that do not create value, by definition, destroy it; and unprofitable enterprise businesses are wasting both the money of their shareholders and the enterprise resources and assets.
