Do the words Growth, Profit, and Expansion Mix with Sustainability?

That's quite a mouthful and somewhat of a brain twister. 

Growth, from a traditional business mindset is the goal.  Bigger is better, more! On the contrary, the general consensus among those in the sustainability camp would possibly argue, growth is bad - evil - must be stopped.  However, as the pendulum swings from one side and then to the other, it rest in the middle.  And similar to the pendulum, as our world resets itself from the growth mindset, perhaps there is an equilibrium that allows for growth to have its place in a sustainable world.  Perhaps it just shows up differently.   How so you might ask?  Well, consider the basic essence of business sustainability: “it is a strategic approach to business to enable a business to meet its goals of profitability, growth, and revenue. It provides a path to creating significant, durable, business value." ~Gil Friend.  Simultaneously, it takes into account for social and environmental impacts.    Growth going forward allows business to prosper but doing so differently than in the past.  Sustainability concepts coupled with innovation is driving manufacturers and suppliers to use renewable sources and achieve current standards with fewer resources.  Expansion viewed from a different context includes community engagement and partnerships.  Think NGO's and businesses working together.  Is that not expansion?
