Abstract: Sustainability sparks controversial discussions predominantly because of its vague and unsettled status within the business context. This paper aims to identify the limitations and opportunities of applying sustainability practices. Through studies and case studies, it is suggested that by adopting sustainability practices, a business can have both organisational and financial benefits that are measurable and act as a growth factor, making it a business with purpose. The metrics are not universally accepted, but this can be seen as an advantage, using only those indicators that, by an accredited validation, can be meaningful for the business, the industry and the society it operates in.
