Current Topic Thursday: Fundamentals of Sustainable Business

This Thursday I want to share with you all not a news article, but a website page written in terms and ways as phrased in the book Fundamentals of Sustainable Business. I read this book and memorized the key points of each chapter for a class, but this isn't a book restrained to just the classroom.

Fundamentals of Sustainable Business

The main points, as seen when clicking the link above, are listed and explained. Each point is a chapter in Matthew Tueth's book, and will be the topics I plan on discussing in the near future.

I will note, Dr. Tueth uses the term Triple Top Line. If this is confusing, let me explain how it is not. A business deals with the bottom line - financial income. Triple refers to that financial segment, as well as environmental and social 'top' line. 'Top Line' refers to these being a priority at the beginning of a business's plan rather than an afterthought at the 'bottom' of  a business's report.

As always, if you have any questions please let me know in the comments.
