Sustainability has three dimensions: Environment,  Economy, Society. They are interconnected. Each dimension affects and depends on the other.  When on thrives, it positively impacts the others. But when one suffers, it can strain the entire system. This is why we need think about sustainability challenges and adjust our business and life to circular economy.  At first thought you might be thinking: can we actually achieve sustainability? And if it is possible, where should we even start?

Addressing sustainability challenges means making monumental changes to the way we do certain things. To move towards a more sustainable future, we need all to do actions: individuals, governments, business and societies.

The economy is about how we produce and consume goods and services. It’s the markets, the industries, and our livelihoods that enable the economy to grow. But the economy is only as strong as the environment it relies on. A sustainable economy is one that can utilize the goods and services that nature provides without depleting resources. Without harming the environment or perpetuating injustices.
