Abstract
Ethics and sustainability are inseparable and integral to maintaining sustainable communities, and local governments should track and report outcomes related to ethics and integrity in their sustainability plans. By design, sustainability is an attempt by organizations to recognize and address the social, economic, environmental, and governance issues in strategic planning. Ethics may be intentionally included in the sustainability plan or a by-product of a deliberate strategy. Reid considered sustainability an ethical framework (p. 29). Climate change, social inequalities, increased poverty levels, income gap, lack of access to health care, inadequate housing, and energy crisis are among some of the most relevant issues facing communities and local governments.
