In recent years we have heard a lot about the environmental and economic strands of this triple bottom line, but when it comes to social sustainability, things become a lot more vague. The lament that sustainability tends to sit within old fashioned corporate social responsibility (CSR) departments is well known. While resource and financial sustainability have been gradually breaking free of this departmental constraint and beginning to be embedded within other parts of organisations, in a lot of cases social sustainability remains steadfastly linked to traditional philanthropy.
