Sustainability is built on the assumption that developing such strategies fosters company longevity. The sustainability agenda begins with committing to incorporating social, environmental, economic, and ethical factors into a company's business strategies. It extends to evaluating how these factors affect the business, including all of its stakeholders and what risks and opportunities these factors present. Finally, the sustainability agenda asks businesses to adopt measures to mitigate risks and take advantage of opportunities. This mechanism is the main issue to be investigated in any research and development activities in pursuing sustainable development goals. Undeniably, the role of training and career development in the era of Industry 4.0 and Society 5.0 will become more significant and challenging to yield knowledgeable and highly skilled human resources. Therefore, the commitment to pursuing studies shows a critical investment that can change and improve business at present and in the future. The extensive knowledge in this book can serve as the basis for managing sustainability amidst change. In understanding this book, the determination of leaders or managers, human resource practitioners, and various layers of society can be an eye-opener that managing sustainability is a crucial issue. The integration between theory, practice and future development, as proposed in this book, will produce sustainable and competitive business strategies for a thriving future.
