    Abstract

    The global changes and growing importance of sustainability and sustainable development challenge companies to reorganize their businesses. Just a profit oriented focus is not sufficient any longer as environmental and social aspects get part of the daily business in many companies. A good possibility to create a company, that is on the one hand economical oriented but on the other hand as well social and ecological oriented, is the implementation of sustainable development in ones business principles. Sustainable business principles merge economical, ecological and social aspects and try to fulfil the needs of the mankind in the presence without influencing the possibility to satisfy the needs of the next generation. Companies that are working on theses principles can illustrate their sustainable success by using different instruments. Those instruments are not only for illustration the sustainable success or the possible failure but also for continuous improvement and if necessary for adoption appropriate.
