Besides, reinforcing loop R3 demonstrate almost same interaction as loop R1, instead audits and root cause analysis (RCA) would be frequent, thus, continuous improvement of management practices. c) Economic Dimension The causal loop diagram (CLD) for the sustainable social practices are shown in figure 4 on the following page. The model demonstrated the challenges faced by organisations in order to achieve a sustainable economic performance. The increase in revenue would cause increase in profits which could be invested in education or sponsorship children of poor families for education and training. Thus, it would help to reduce poverty at the root cause. Also, this would increase local labour employment over the long run. Moreover, government initiatives and international initiatives have increased the sustainability opportunities for organisations. Sustainable perfor- mance is increased by employee engagement, stakeholder engagement and environmental performance. Furthermore, the economic CLD consist of three loops, of which two demonstrating balancing (B) behaviour and one reinforcing (R) behaviour detailed in table 4 below.
