The argument most frequently used to justify the call for sustainability in business and life generally is based on notions of distributive justice (see, for instance, Dobson 1998; Jacobs 1999; Tencati and Perrini 2011). This chapter sees a strong link between sustainability and justice, but in a different way, concerned more with the development and exercise of the virtue of justice by individuals.
