</parsererror> Sustainability is difficult to define and is in basic terms referred to as the process of maintaining a certain level of productivity in an organization, community, etc. It is often used interchangeably, especially in the oil and gas industry, with the term “sustainable development,” with the latter being the more accepted of the two. The most widely accepted definition of sustainable development came from the Brundtland Commission in 1987, which defines sustainable development as “development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.”[1] The concept has since expanded and become increasingly important to the oil and gas industry.
History
Although sustainability seems to be a recent concern, it has been discussed and developed for many years. There have been many summits, meetings, and conferences that have focused on sustainability and sustainable development in both the broad sense and one that is more specific to certain industries (see Fig. 1).
