Organizations that give back to the community, whether through employees volunteering their time or through charitable donations are often considered to be socially sustainable. Organizations also can encourage education in their communities by training their employees and offering internships to younger members of the community. Practices such as these increase the education level and quality of life in the community. In order for a business to be truly sustainable, it must sustain not only the necessary environmental resources but also its social resources, including employees, customers (the community), and its reputation (Earth Charter Principles 2019; Hahn 2008).
