We stand for social sustainability
...but what exactly is social sustainability?
is one of the three disciplines of sustainability and is one part of the bigger scope of ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance). Sustainability is the ability to meet the needs of the current generation without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs.
Oxford Institute for Sustainable Development (OISD) has a definition for Social Sustainability:
Concerning how individuals, communities and societies live with each other and set out to achieve the objectives of development models which they have chosen for themselves, also taking into account the physical boundaries of their places and planet earth as a whole. At a more operational level, social sustainability stems from actions in key thematic areas, encompassing the social realm of individuals and societies, which ranges from capacity building and skills development to environmental and spatial inequalities. In this sense, social sustainability blends traditional social policy areas and principles, such as equity and health, with emerging issues concerning participation, needs, social capital, the economy, the environment, and more recently, with the notions of happiness, wellbeing and quality of life.
