“Sustainability” basically refers to our world’s ability to Thrive – Environmentally, Socially & Economically – in a Durable manner that meets our needs & opportunities of today without sacrificing them for generations of tomorrow. In other words, our ability to sustain optimal conditions for People, Planet & Prosperity. Developing towards a fair and healthy future hinges upon us all contributing to each of these 3 sustainability dimensions and understanding how they go hand-in-hand. Here, both Citizens & Companies are key to the solution - as Citizens impact Companies as employees, consumers and investors – while Companies in turn are the primary employer of People, consumer of Planetary resources and generator of Prosperity.So we call on all Citizens to review companies in everyday life with this in mind, so we can support and advance brands with evermore sustainable impact.
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is a framework of 17 overall goals - or causes - deemed the most critical by the United Nations for the world to work on today, in order to develop a sustainable tomorrow.
