Abstract

Sustainable Development Goals, which was adopted at the 70th Session of the UN
General Assembly, reflects the on-going social, economic, and environmental issues in the world.
These are issues that threaten the well-being of the people nowadays and in the future. As a result,
most countries’ development policies are now geared toward a concrete “Sustainable Development”
scheme. Business sector, as a part of the world society, has to be more responsible and
conscious of the society, and stepping in in order to enhance sustainability of the world.
The significant tool of the business sector to drive an organization toward sustainable development
is to create a “Sustainable Brand” under the concept of “Triple Bottom Line”, which means to
manage a brand with the focus on inclusively balancing of Economic, Social and Environment.
An organization with the capacity to develop sustainable brand will come with sustainability in
itself, a shared prosperity for stakeholders, and ability to nurture natural environment for the next
generation. In summary, this will gradually bring about sustainability of mankind at present and
in the future.
