Sustainability Assessment is a systematic process used to evaluate the environmental, social, and economic impacts of a project or policy. It helps organizations understand how their activities affect the planet and communities, guiding them toward more sustainable practices. This assessment often includes analyzing resource use, waste generation, and potential risks to ecosystems and human health.
The process typically involves various tools and methods, such as life cycle assessment (LCA) and environmental impact assessments (EIA). By incorporating stakeholder feedback and considering long-term effects, Sustainability Assessment aims to promote responsible decision-making that balances economic growth, social equity, and environmental protection.
