Sustainable Development
Meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own.
Overview
Meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own.
That definition, from the UN World Commission on Environment and Development (the Brundtland Commission), rests on three connected results: environmental, social and economic. We help companies, governments, cities and foundations put it into practice, from a rapid assessment of critical risks and opportunities to partnerships across several years.
01Why it matters
- Environmental qualityHealthy communities need clean air, natural resources and a non-toxic environment.
- Global challengesClimate change, water scarcity, inequality and hunger need action that balances social progress, environmental health and economic growth.
- Resource demandRising demand for energy, water and space is unsustainable; stabilising and reducing carbon emissions is key.
- Shared benefitsSustainability protects the environment, supports society, improves the economy, health and safety, and saves money.
02The SDGs and the 2030 Agenda
The 17 Sustainable Development Goals, adopted by the UN General Assembly in 2015, are a blueprint to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure prosperity by 2030. They need action from individuals, businesses, governments and countries. Our contribution focuses on four of them:
Clean energy
Energy is central to almost every major challenge and opportunity.
Responsible use of resources
Responsible production and consumption, with recycling.
Climate change
A global challenge that affects everyone, starting with awareness.
03Advisory and training
- Sustainability management system (SMS)Strategy, implementation, impact and sustainability reporting.
