Introduction
Sustaina...what???? This clumsy word has come to mean a lot of things to a lot of people. So Sd3 has decided to summarise what we think it means and what you can do about it.

'So that's Sustainability' provides a description of sustainability and the following pages lay out a path to help you explore and understand what it means for your organisation and for you at work and at home. Follow the Sd3 steps to sustainability:

Step 1 - Understand - the global context of sustainability
  Why it is important to you and your organisation?
  Your vision of what your organisation would look like if it were sustainable
  How you can develop guiding principles that underpin your path to a more sustainable future.

Step 2 - Manage - your impacts on society, the environment and economies
  The risks and opportunities that sustainability creates
  In a systematic way, to continually improve your performance.

Step 3 - Share
  Information on your performance - communicate
  Knowledge and tools to help make sustainability happen
  Development of new ideas and approaches
  Specialist information relating to different sectors
  Links to further information.
