We can define sustainability as the consideration of economic, environmental and social factors in company activities and decision mechanisms, together with corporate governance principles, and the effective management of risks related to these factors, in order to create long-term value in companies.
With the concept of sustainability gaining importance and investors now considering sustainability factors in company selection, capital market regulators and stock exchanges have paid attention to the issue; companies have started to take various initiatives to spread the awareness of sustainability among investors and society.
