This monograph is an attempt at a holistic description of the approach to sustainable development and its organization. The first chapter focuses on sustainable development in historical and definitional terms. The three most important dimensions – social, economic, and environmental – are discussed, which are the pillars of the concept. This section also refers to CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) as there is a link between these concepts. The second chapter is a transition to the level of organization and socially and environmentally responsible activities that enterprises should undertake. Taking action at this level is a fundamental step toward implementing sustainable development guidelines. The chapter describes, among others, sustainable activities in the field of production, logistics, services, marketing, and indispensable human participation. The third chapter focuses on the environment of the organization. The elements influencing sustainable development described in it, such as globalization, innovation, education, the influence of stakeholders, or multidimensional reporting, are important aspects affecting the way of perceiving, evaluating, and adjusting activities to market expectations.
