Sustainability has three dimensions: environmental integrity, economic vitality and social equity:
Environmental integrity — Sessions target minimization of environmental impact such as resource efficiency and conservation.
Economic vitality — Sessions will identify various strategies that make it possible to use available resources to their best advantage, including cost savings and profit maximization.
Social equity — Sessions address fair and beneficial practices and social progress.
Explore the spectrum of opportunities.
