Summary

Introduction

Today's operations and management must combine high standards of environment, health, and wealth with the goals of social justice to maintain the earth's ability to support various forms of life. The essence of the concept of sustainability is the "triple bottom line", that is, ecological sustainability, which consists of three pillars of sustainability aimed at maintaining the quality of the environment required for economic activity to improve the quality of life, sustainability of people and society, search for human rights and equality, maintenance of cultural identity, respect for cultural diversity, race and religion, and economic sustainability. These are necessary to maintain the natural, social and human capital, and necessary to generate and maintain income. Some pillars of sustainable development have become sustainable, while others have become unsustainable, especially in terms of environmental sustainability, which depends on overall development capacity
