Abstract
As attention to development that can continue over time increases across the world, organizations in business face social responsibilities that become more difficult while these organizations also work to increase economic outcomes. The framework examining environmental factors, social factors, and governance factors provides a main approach for measuring value in organizations over time and responsibility to society. This work examines difficulties that organizations face in development that can continue from the perspective of the framework, examining these three factors. The analysis describes important issues that include differences between the concepts in the framework and actual governance in organizations, and differences between putting practices into effect and providing information about practices. These issues appear to affect how organizations carry out strategy and have a significant influence on society in significant ways. The work uses this analysis to suggest approaches for making governance structures that relate to the three factors work better, and for improving practices and providing information. The aim is to present paths that organizations can follow to reach goals for development that can continue. Findings in the study suggest that organizations can truly include the framework examining environmental factors, social factors, and governance factors in the main strategy only by making governance work better in all aspects and providing information with high accuracy. This approach allows organizations to create development that can continue over time.
