MAIN BODY
Introduce and define the issue/challenge chosen
It is very important to understand sustainability. Sustainability is defined as meeting
the needs of the present without compromising with the future generation. That means future
generations will not face any problems in order to meet their own needs. Three important
pillars of sustainability are the economy, the environment and society. It becomes in global
issue in now these days because it affects all the people who live on the planet (Alexander,
2018). It is found let sustainability becomes a global ethical challenge or issue. Living with
sustainability includes an individual living with moral and physical constraints provided by
the planet. When people are choosing to live sustainability then it means they made of moral
commitment to the earth that they will not waste the natural resources and always focus on
making the environment healthy. But now these days, it is found everybody that
sustainability is become ended and after seeing the impact, each country is now focusing on
maintaining sustainability. In this process, there are many organisations which become
successful in which one of them being Unilever. They are focusing on identifying the ways
which help to maintain sustainability and for that purpose, they launch many campaigns as
well as modify their processes (Luthra and et.al., 2018). On the other hand, Zara is found in
the world's leading fashion brand but they are failed in sustainability because this company is
known for fast fashion which creates many wastage and pollution in the environment. So in
this way sustainability is affected by each and every type of organisation as well as people. It
provides positive as well as negative impacts on the businesses.
