Corporate sustainability refers to a business strategy that balances economic performance with environmental stewardship and social equity. It represents an evolution from traditional philanthropy to systemic change, embedding sustainability into the core of operations, decision-making, and culture.

Initially seen as a form of CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility), corporate sustainability has since grown into a broader, more integrated model. It focuses not only on minimising harm but on maximising long-term impact, helping companies remain competitive, compliant, and conscious in a rapidly changing world.
