Chapter 26: Sustainability
LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
After reading this chapter, students should be able to:
• Explain the term ‘sustainability’ and consider why sustainability might be in some businesses’ interests.
• Outline how the issue of sustainability has changed and now incorporates broader goals than just the impact
on the environment.
• Explain the principle of socially responsible investing.
• Outline some advantages and disadvantages to businesses of seeking to achieve greater levels of
sustainability.
• Outline and comment on different measures of efficiency and how they can be applied to the issue of
sustainability.
• Describe some of the steps that a business would need to take to implement sustainability strategies.
• Outline the benefits of increasing sustainability to SMEs.
CONTEXT AND PURPOSE:
Chapter 26 is the final chapter of this textbook. It discusses the issue of sustainability.
KEY POINTS:
1. Sustainability looks at how we use resources today to satisfy wants and needs in a way which does
not compromise the ability of people in the future also being able to satisfy their wants and needs.
2. There are four important questions that need to be answered in relation to sustainability: how do
we balance current and future needs; how do we measure intertemporal choices; how do we define
what we mean by ‘efficiency’: and who should bear the costs and gain the benefits of the design
and implementation of changes in behaviour to achieve sustainability?
3. Many firms are now taking an increasing interest in, and recognizing, their role in sustainability
and the definition of sustainability is becoming broader.
4. Socially responsible investing refers to the process whereby individuals and firms with funds to
invest make decisions based on the ethical and sustainable credentials of the investment.
5. Advantages of adopting sustainability principles can include increased profitability, benefits of
investing in people and access to new markets.
6. Disadvantages of adopting sustainability principles include potential impact on costs, the need for
investment, challenges in managing change, ensuring that customers are understood and the extent
to which the business is internally capable of achieving its goals.
, 7. Efficiency can be viewed in different ways: productive, technical, allocative, and social efficiency.
8. To implement sustainability strategies, firms need to understand their business, establish clear
goals and take steps to ensure all stakeholders are aligned with the business’s goals.
9. Sustainability principles and benefits are equally as applicable to small and medium sized
enterprises as they are to large firms.
CHAPTER OUTLINE:
I. Introduction
A. Economic growth (powered by human activity) has led to the creation of negative externalities that
have resulted in average temperatures rising around the globe. Issues include:
a. Global warming.
b. Climate change.
c. The availability of water.
d. Biodiversity.
e. The environment.
B. Global warming will lead to changes in the climate and include more instances of extreme weather
events which together will result in widespread and ‘disastrous’ consequences.
Example: we saw the effects of extreme weather on supply chains earlier in this textbook in Chapter
17.
C. Human-generated carbon dioxide emissions have been cited as the main reason for these changes.
D. Governments, firms and individuals must make changes now to the ways we work, live and produce in
different ways, to make lasting cuts in carbon emissions.
E. Global warming and climate change will affect every element of the transformation process.
F. Definition of sustainability: The capacity of economic activity to produce goods and services for
current use without compromising the ability of future generations to also meet their economic needs.
G. Key Questions about Sustainability
1. Sustainability is subjective and complex.
2. Looking at sustainability from an economist’s perspective means focusing on seeking out the facts,
understanding the issues, focusing on the evidence and trying to quantity the costs and benefits.
The aim is to present policy options that are based on objectivity not subjectivity.
3. There are four key questions that need to be considered when thinking about sustainability.
