Sustain provides a comprehensive overview of sustainable development within the South African business sector. Cleaner production and resource-efficient technologies, as well as best practices in sustainable-development partnerships are covered.

It is a yearbook aimed at reflecting the progress made in sustainable development in South Africa. Following the Rio Earth Summit in 1992 and the Johannesburg World Summit in 2002, it questions how far South African business and industry has come in attaining these social-responsibility and sustainability goals.

It looks at the latest technologies and trends affecting sustainable development and is categorised in line with South Africa's most important industrial sectors. The industries covered include mining and quarrying, energy, civil construction, building and architecture, equipment (earthmoving, mining and construction), water, urban and environmental planning, and facilities management.

The publication covers large-scale corporate and industrial entities and small-scale enterprises looking to exchange information and promote their efforts in cleaner production or efficient resource usage. It presents business opportunities to the entrepreneur and delivers intelligence to those hungry for knowledge. It is a profound vehicle for advertisers to portray their sustainable-development initiatives.
