There is an increased awareness of how social and business practices have significantly affected the degradation of the natural environment, depletion of natural resources, and wellbeing of people. Subsequently social and environmental KPIs are emerging as a key for business to achieve sustainable competitive advantage. Sustainable marketing places equal emphasis on environmental stewardship, social stewardship and economic stewardship concerns in the development of marketing strategies. This subject addresses how sustainability issues form part of marketing strategy in the business and public sector and encompasses social marketing strategies aimed at positive societal change. It identifies and applies sustainability frameworks and tools companies use to build sustainable thinking into their marketing activities and strategies in response to opportunities and threats that arise from social, economic and environmental changes in the environment.
