The real definition:

Sustainability is a relationship, or balancing act, 
between factors which are constantly changing. 
Like "family values," everyone agrees that sustainability 
is a good thing, but no one agrees on what exactly it is, 
or even more significantly, how to achieve it and how 
to know when we have achieved it.

A practical meaning:

The concept of sustainability refers to our ability to operate 
efficiently and productively while minimizing our negative impact 
on the environment. Seeking the best balance between the demands 
of doing business and the need to protect the environment can be challenging.
