Sustainable development means meeting the needs of the present without affecting the chances of future generations. The effects on the environment or on society should thus not be ignored when acting economically.
Currently, the greatest challenge for environment and society is climate change. Climate change not only means warm summer nights in Northern or Central Europe. It also means long periods of aridity in Africa, leading to bad harvests and famine. Stronger winds in inland waters benefit yachtsmen but, in the form of hurricanes or taifuns can destroy whole districts and bring much suffering.
Sustainable Partner developes climate protection strategies for businesses and helps them implement these strategies. CO2 emissions are central. These are accounted for in balance sheets, reduction potentials are identified, and any unavoidable CO2 emissions are compensated for.
