Once it was just health and safety (H&S). Increasingly, concern about the wellbeing of people and the environment has broadened the term to HSSE - health, safety, security and environment. The last of these terms now appears in some places as 'environmental sustainability' and, most recently, the term has been reduced simply to 'sustainability'. We now have HSSS or HS3 for short.
The reason for replacing environmental sustainability by sustainability alone is because the latter is based on the triple-bottom line of social, economic and environmental. Let us start 2012 with a clear understanding of what HS3 means - everything that must be done to protect people, the planet and our collective future.
