Sustainable development issues have become a strategic demand for all countries of the world, and their priority interests, and the countries of the world are moving towards focusing their efforts, initiatives, and actions on their differences and diversity towards sustainability, especially in light of the global trend where the member states of the United Nations have adopted the sustainable development goals. It was recognized in 2015 as a global call to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure life in peace and increase its profitability in 2030. Hence; the countries of the world have been increasing their socially responsible practices in the economic, social and environmental aspects. Apply them in an integrated manner and direct them towards community sustainability in accordance with an integrative framework.
