Abstract: When confronting fundamental challenges such as climate change, population growth, human rights and resource constraints-- businesses and public sector organizations face a daunting new imperative. It is an axiom of current business thought and practice in most Western European enterprises that they must use fewer resources to produce their goods and services – a responsible use of those resources that benefit society and the environment and still meet their traditional demands: from customers and citizens for price, quality and availability; from shareholders for outstanding performance and returns; and from politicians for economic growth and prosperity in both developed and developing economies.
