Sustainable Development Goals (UN) Sustainability & ISO 14001
Sustainability is the ability to provide for human needs – food, clothing, and shelter while having a minimum impact on the environment.
Sustainability basically involves the restoration of our habitat.
Brundtland Report defines sustainability as “development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.” That said, it’s quite clear that a successful EMS, and the resultant good environmental practices and mitigation of environmental risk, can be significant contributors to reducing environmental impact.
