I think that's moving faster though they're both in the same direction. It's because of a number of factors. In some respects it has to do with the fact that the current world economy is shit and needs to be retooled. The powers that be let short-term goals dictate their actions for years with stop gap solutions and now everyone is suffering. On the other side, what it's really about (as all things are) is money. I sat through a CSR conference the other day and listened to AXA and Berkeart and Standard Chartered and Pepsi talk about all these great green initiatives they've made and at the end of each one explained how much money it saved them. I'll agree with the others that the term itself if a fad, but the underlying teachings are about efficiency and are spurred on by tough economic times. Corporates tell Universities what they want their future employees to know about to get recruited and Universities teach it to their students in the hopes they'll have more students get into the bigger name companies and then they'll get more money from higher tuition fees and the world spins on...<br><b>References : </b><br> Well sustainability or Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)?
