Abstract

Sustainability is a core concept enabling favorable and sustainable conditions for the next generation; that is why, all governments in the world are trying to adopt measures that provide and create a business environment in which all types of business enterprises can thrive while concerning to preserve and converse the current resources in the world. Likewise other countries, the Government of Mongolia introduced the “Sustainable Development of Mongolia 2030” policy and approved the new legal document “Vision 2050”, which embedded the concept of the UN’s Sustainable development goals to reach sustainability by 2030 partially and by 2050 fully. In this study, we aimed to investigate how companies consider Sustainability and their understanding and practice of sustainability policy. We reviewed the websites of fifty, all types of listed non-mining firms using the content and discourse analysis method and created a list of themes that were highlighted frequently. Our research found out that Sustainability is a new concept in developing countries than in Western countries because of socioeconomic differences, so most business enterprisers in Mongolia perceive Sustainability as a way of financing public activities, ensuring conditions of learning and development for employers, complying with the law, and formulating proper policy and ensuring its implementation, and the participants have limited understanding and knowledge about sustainability in general. In addition, the participants showed a tendency that only firms with financial capabilities are responsible for taking care of the socio-economic-environment issues.
