Organisations have been implementing strategies in their business to enhance the continuity of their operations. The emerging issues

related to environmental and social problems have made organisations implement sustainability strategies in their business activities.

The purpose of the study is to identify the problems in building sustainable organisations, and to make recommendations that will

improve sustainable organisations. The article consists of three main parts. The first is the theoretical part, which analyses the challenges

relating to sustainability implementations. The second involves the research methodology, which combined both quantitative

and qualitative methods in the study. The third part of the research focuses on empirical analysis and evaluation. The findings reveal

problems relating to an organisation’s inability to reward and motivate employees’ work or activities done, a lack of local funding

associated with environmentally friendly materials, and a lack of economic development sustainability policies. The research concludes

with recommendations for the effective building of a sustainable organisation.
