CEA defines sustainable business as business
that operates in a way that meets the needs of
the present without compromising the ability
of future generations to meet their own needs.
This definition is a variation on the classic
Brundtland Commission definition of
sustainable development: Sustainable development
is development that meets the needs of
the present without compromising the ability
of future generations to meet their own needs.
CEA is committed to the ongoing promotion
of sustainability among its members, as well
as continual integration of sustainability in its
own business practices.
