The products that are built here enhance the supply chain design and goes beyond just giving customers what they want. And according to Target, their guests want more sustainable products (“Corporate Responsibility”, 2014). For example, Target’s Sustainable Product Standard partners them with vendors who provide information on 6,500 products for which there is no widely accepted standard for sustainability. They evaluate this information against certain criteria based on information gathered from stakeholders.

Sustainable development is defined as “Development that meets the needs of the present generations without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs” (IISD, par. 1 ).
Sustainable development means that the present generations should be able to make use of resources to live better lives in such a manner that it does not compromise the ability of future generations. For sustainable development to occur, there needs to be sustainable economic, ecological and community development. Society needs to be educated about ways in which they can use resources, especially natural, in such a manner that it does not cause harm to the environment and put future generations lives at risk.

Sustainability is “development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations” (Report of the World Commission on Environment and Development: Our Common Future 1987). The concept of sustainability comprises of four pillars: environmental; economic; political and social; as can be seen in the image below. Environmental sustainability is the use and management of the environment in a way that it does not deplete our finite resources. Economic sustainability is a long term sustainable economy that supports its community and political sustainability is the collaboration of different bodies of government to achieve a sustainable future. Now social sustainability is hard to define as it encapsulates many different factors; however to be very broad it is to achieve social justice. The real objective for sustainability is that all four pillars work together equally in a precautionary principle;
Rockefeller and Andrew Carnegie, 4) That with the previous three factors, the world can not only help better the lives of poor people, but in doing so, they create a new source of people who can identify, hypothesized and create solutions to their and the world’s problems, only increasing humanity’s ability to create abundance. These factors will allow more people than ever to have their needs met on the abundance pyramid, a construct of the two authors inspired by Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, whose foundation is water, food, and shelter, whose next level is energy, education, and ICT (information and communications technology), and whose final level consists of freedom and health.
There are numerous definitions of the terms ‘Sustainable’ and ‘Supply Chain’. For the simplistic but practical definition is “Management of raw materials and services from suppliers to manufacturer/ service provider to customer and back with improvement of the social and environmental impacts explicitly considered”. The supply chain considers the interactions between a business and its customers and suppliers. The greatest benefits are derived by extending the focus as far as possible upstream towards the raw materials, downstream towards the consumer and then back again as the product and wastes are recycled. Sustainable supply chains are among the biggest responsible business challenges. Accomplishing sustainable supply
Such as, supply chain manager could adopt several technologies to save the usage of natural resource so that they certainly utilize them in the longer period, although company could pay much more cost in the initial step as business sacrifice.

This concept drives company to build up advanced control structure and powerful social considering during operation process. In addition, there are increasing numbers of people paying attention on preventing environment and expect to retain suitable environment for future generations, otherwise the worse environment directly destroy our society, even our live place will disappear. Consequently, supply chain manager will involve protecting environment in business process by restrict raw material or manage the produce approach for minimizing the impacting of environment. Under this strategy, GImenez and Ventura strongly propose companies to adopt multiple tools in order to eliminate the negative influence of social environment, given lots of people were died by several pollutions.
Urbanization, which is becoming a buzzword during the last few decades, is enlarging at a booming speed. It is predicted that 93 percents urban growth will occur to the year 2020, in the developing world (Elliot J.A, 1999). Generally speaking, more than half of the people around the world have been moved to cities, which led to a series of “matters” connected with people’s life that changed in a dramatical way. In this period, sustainable development, another buzzword during the past few years, came into people’s view and gradually became the mainstream of society development. Its definition is to make the development continue in a long term, which means allowing appropriate economic growth and industrialization without
The concept of sustainable development has become a major topic among intellectuals from various fields. Sustainable development has gone through various changes in its definitions and at present does not have a commonly accepted definition.

In 1974 at a conference on Science and Technology for Human Development by the World Council of Churches the concept of a “sustainable society” is believed to have been first noted. This early concept focused on equitable distribution of scarce resources and the need for democratic decision making. In 1980 the currently used term of sustainable development emerged in the
