The Closed-Loop Principle in Sustainable Business

Sustainability 'implies meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability
of future generations to meet their own needs' (United Nations General Assembly, 1987). The closed-loop model of corporate sustainability is an acknowledgement that the business functions within a world of finite resources (Clift, 2011). A closed loop ...
