b. Hydrosphere (Water) Consists of surface, ground and oceanic waters.

70% of earths surface is water. 70% of our body weight isalso water.

Water is a medium of all biochemical reactions in plantsand animals.

Clean water for drinking (a metabolic requirement of allliving process). Water for washing, cooking, in agriculture,industry, for creating hydro power.

Food resources from sea.

Around 3% of water is in extreme locations incl glaciers.

c. Lithosphere (Land) Stone, sand, gravel used in construction Soil, the basis of agriculture to provide food. Micronutrients in soil, essential for plant growth A large no. of minerals on which industries are based Microscopic flora, small soil fauna, and fungi in soil

important living organisms of the lithosphere, which breaks

down plant litter as well as animal wastes to providenutrients for plants. Oil, Coal and Gas extracted from underground sources, it

provides power to vehicles, agriculture machinery,industry, and for our homes.

Lithosphere begin as a hot ball of matter which formed theearth about 4.6 billion years ago. About 3.2 billion years ago,the Earth cooled down considerably and very special event

Corp. Sustainability Makes Business Sense

Corporate Sustainability (CS) is a business strategy that works. In

a world where brand value and reputation are increasingly seen as a

companys most valuable assets, CS can build the loyalty and trust that

ensure a bright sustainable future. In our complex, global society,

corporations are becoming increasingly visible. They are not judged on

their results but on their behavior too, and this can be an opportunity. By

integrating CS into your business as core value, you are not only making

a significant contribution to a better society, but just as importantly you are

recognized for doing so. And this has obvious benefits for the company.


13/20

If one is to be successful in 21st century, one must simultaneously excel

in all three elements of sustainable development: Economic Prosperity,

CS and Environmental Stewardship. The right way to approach social

responsibility is not in rules and regulations but in a high level ethical code

that could be built into an organizations value system.

CS is an approach that helps us to get away from the old idea that

economic, social and environmental goals are always and invariably in

conflict. What we need to work out is how progress on any one of those

fronts can support progress on the others.


14/20

We want to see business, the voluntary sector, and public bodies all

working together, not doing so grudgingly, but because each sees it as

advancing its own key interests to do so, as well as advancing the interests

of others.

Benefits of CS are :

1. Enhanced Brand Image and Reputation

2. Increased Trust and Customer Loyalty3. Sustainable Development
