    Costco meets the criteria for a sustainable organization in several ways. Externally, it charges membership fees to provide low prices by ordering in bulk and maintaining low markups. Internally, it pays workers higher hourly wages than competitors, offers health insurance, and fosters job security, helping retain loyal employees. Costco's basic retail strategy is to keep expenses low for customers, which its human resource practices support by avoiding layoffs, increasing pay and benefits, and hiring highly educated workers, giving them a sense of security to work towards the company's goals.
