With the increasing depletion of natural resources and the threat of “climate change”,
the concept of sustainable development has been given more and more attention.
Sustainable development is now broadly recognized as “the principles of the current
process of economic and technological development to ensure that the use of envi-
ronmental resources to satisfy present demands is managed in a way that they are not
left so damaged or impoverished they cannot be used by future generations” [99]. The
‘Triple Bottom Line’ has been proposed to measure the impact of an organization’s
activities [49]. The Triple Bottom Line (TBL) has reflected the value of a company
in terms of three dimensions, including not only its financial performance, i.e. prof-
itability, but also its environmental and social resources [45]. Thus, a sustainable
consumption and production should not only focus on the economic prosperity, but
also paymuchmore attention to the environmental and social perspectives, ultimately
benefiting all the stakeholders who will be affected by these three dimensions.
