The manifesto
SUSTAINABLE FUTURE
The concept of sustainable development is based on four aspects: the environment, economy, business and people. Economic sustainability concerns the ability of an economic system to generate profit and work in a sustainable way; environmental sustainability regards the protection of the ecosystem and restoring of natural resources; social sustainability is the ability to ensure conditions of human well-being to thus achieve a development capable of ensuring the needs of current generations without compromising the possibility of future generations to achieve theirs.
