Sustainability can no longer be solely a marketing or CSR buzzword. The nature of current resource use leaves little doubt that without a fundamental and immediate shift in business practice, global markets will begin to strain under the pressure of limited material, water, environmental and energy resources.
These issues are compounded by climate change which will also bring political instability, food shortages and enhanced risk to capital investments. To respond to the fundamental nature of limited resource management requires a new platform for business in which resource exploitation is sustainable and market failure reduced to provide zero footprint operations.
