2Sustainability – What does it mean?
World Commission on Environment and Development defines sustainability as:
“forms of progress that meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs.”
At Foster’s we interpret that as:
“Continually improving our practices to ensure we minimise negative impacts and maximise the positive social, environmental and economic outcomes of our global business operations.”
