If prosperity for all is to prevail, whatever we do will have to be regenerative, non-polluting, socially fair, and in line with the natural cycles of our planet. Nothing will happen in isolation, and ripples, good and bad, will be felt beyond our local and national boundaries. Sustainable development will become a reality when the interests and welfare of all living creatures, humans included, the planet and companies genuinely converge.
People will not be able to have a purposeful life without the services, jobs and innovation provided by companies and the benefits of a healthy environment. The environment will not be able to protect all forms of life and make available raw materials without the respect of humans and the stewardship of business. Companies will not be able to operate, make a profit and fulfil their social responsibility without a capable workforce and functioning ecosystems.
So let’s get to it.
e necessary in 2050.
