Default Business "sustainability"

I noticed the business "sustainability" reports that fly in the face of real sustainability. The businesses need continued population growth, or to cause it, to be "sustainable".
Their thinking is all short term, and does not take into account the other effects of more and more people, or an increasing general standard of living(faster depletion and pollution), on the biosphere. They don't seem to realize that the long term effects of harming the biosphere is mass death and no business.
For businesses to be truly sustainable, they must think of very long term, and of a static economy and population at a sustainable long term level.
