Summary

Why is it important to know more about sustainability?

In 2023, we can no longer talk about business and lifestyle without including sustainability. But why is it so important? As individuals, sustainability is no longer just a ‘green’ way of thinking, but a truly responsible approach to everyday life. From buying certified products and services to taking the simplest steps to avoid the waste of water and energy, digital, social, economic and environmental sustainability is a more sensible way of living on this Planet. Both to improve the well-being of all and to prevent and mitigate climate change.
