Sustainability is the way we strive to create a better balance between the needs of people for a high quality of life, while protecting, maintaining and regenerating a safe and healthy environment, in balance with building a strong economy that is ethical and has a long-term view of success to support people far into the future. 
In short: sustainability = people-planet-profits in balance.
