It explains relevant literature on sustainable development describing its foundations, their current challenges and some of the future directions along which the concept can achieve its intended purpose. The arguments suggest that before calling for a massive green campaign in business, there are unresolved issues around the concept of sustainable development, there is a particular need to understand the real motivation of firms for sustainable. For example, at the industry level, a firm’s behavior is a complex issue to control – either through pre-established legal parameters or through a voluntary approach. The interest in sustainable practices has created important implications for managers in almost every industry looking to better understand the arguments around the concept of sustainable development and the commitment that firms should make to address these environmental challenges. Research centered only on economic benefits or only on environmental issues can lead to an incomplete vision of the opportunities for firms that both approaches can generate if they are correctly combined.  El objetivo de este artículo es presentar los principales argumentos en torno al concepto de desarrollo sostenible empresarial y describir la influencia que éste ha tenido en las empresas y sus operaciones. Se explica la literatura relevante sobre el desarrollo sostenible, sus desafíos actuales y algunas de las direcciones futuras. La argumentación sugiere que antes de desarrollar campañas verdes en los negocios, todavía hay una serie de cuestiones sin resolver en torno al concepto de desarrollo sostenible. Así mismo, existe una necesidad particular de comprender la motivación real de las empresas para la sostenibilidad. Por ejemplo, a nivel de la industria, el comportamiento de una empresa es un tema complejo de controlar, ya sea a través de parámetros legales preestablecidos o mediante un enfoque voluntario. El interés en las prácticas sostenibles ha creado implicaciones importantes para los gerentes de casi todas las industrias que buscan comprender mejor los argumentos en torno al concepto de desarrollo sostenible y el compromiso que las empresas deben asumir para abordar estos desafíos ambientales. Este artículo contribuye a resaltar los desafíos actuales en torno al concepto de desarrollo sostenible describiendo algunos de los desafíos futuros que enfrentará para brindar una mejor aplicación para las empresas.
