""Sustainability is a concept more than a strict code.It refers to responsible
and ethical methods of practice in economic, social and environmental management.
In many ways sustainability refers to new methods of old practices.It is often
misinterpreted as relating solely to the environment,but in practice,it is an integrated
approach to all aspects of life - economic,social, environmental and cultural "
