Since 1987 when the Brundtland Committee issued its Report on “Our Common Future” the issue of sustainability has refocused our world in a sustainable way. This has been partly responsible for why the United Nations has taken the field of Corporate Social Responsibility seriously through its many actions and activities notable through its Agenda 21 which emanated from Rio 1992. The UN Millennium Development Goals 2015 and the Sustainable Development Goals 2030 are examples of some of these activities.
