In the 21st Century leaders and organizations are faced with the sustainability dilemma of profits or the environment. Sustainability is a multivarate construct consisting of four pillars the economic, social, environmental and information. Quality, Safety and Environmental management professionals have been at the vanguard of sustainability initially focusing on waste and loss reduction but evolving to include safety and environmental responsibilities. Quality Management concepts such as the Plan, Do, Check and Act (PDCA) cycle have influenced the development of the ISO 14001 Environmental Management standard since inception.

Ideally, companies would focus attention on these issues to be good stewards in their community, but the more we can show the financial impacts of sustainability, the faster we can gain interest from a majority of companies.
