Extractions: Sustainable development - what is it? by John Elkington The business jargon-gardens have been working overtime. Think of the acronyms we have got used to hearing and using: CIO, CKO, CSR, EQ, HR, HSE, IT, SRI, SVA, TQM, and so on. Now there is SD, or sustainable development. Sceptics argue that we will shortly return to business as usual, but growing numbers of companies recognise the need to practice, as Anita Roddicks book puts it, "business as unusual". But these days you are as likely to hear the message coming from the top echelons of the FTSE100 as from The Body Shop. The financial markets are also waking up. They are increasingly interested not only in eco-efficiency, but in business ethics, corporate social responsibility and human rights, all potentially part of the SD agenda. New York-based Dow Jones Company, for example, has joined forces with Zurich-based Sustainable Asset Management to launch a suite of some 100 separate sustainability indexes. Nor is the Dow Jones Sustainability Group alone: SD performance issues are increasingly covered in the portfolio screening for major socially responsible investment (SRI) funds. According to some estimates, the SRI sector is now worth over $2 trillion in the US and over $25 billion in the UK .
