Partners in LearningWhat does it mean?Sustainability
SmartLifeInternational Environment Project
Sustainability is the buzz-word today and it provides a model for how to deliver the needs of the population today without compromising future generations in the ability to meet their needs. Warren Buffett talks about investing, and
the idea of a company's moat. The moat is a simple way of describing a company's competitive advantage. A strong competitive advantage, or a wide moat, gives a company sustainability.
Warren BuffetInvestment Perspective
Sustainability is a characteristic of a process or state that can be maintained at a certain level indefinitely.
