Transcript of Model of sustainable development
Which of these areas is becoming more available to coming
generations?
Health, water and food?
The Environment?
Economic stability?
Communities?
We see most heading in a counter –sustainable direction
Health, water and food
The Environment?
Economic stability?
Communities?
We need a model to help analyze development that will
show the way forward to:
A healthy life…
Preserving the environment…
Keeping organizations stable…
And communities thriving.
Let’s sit down together and look at the way things behave around us and
how they affect other things
It’s all about BEHAVIOUR of
people and systems
We analyze the behaviour of people and systems and their
effects on other systems
Negative effect < caused by < behaviour
Example:
Pollutants to air, soil and water< car emissions < driving a car
Negative effect< caused by < behaviour
HealthyEnvironment
We must limit the burden we place on the Earth so it will be able to support coming generations
From Individuals
Example:
Pollutants to air, soil and water < car
emissions
< driving a car
It sounds so simple.It is.
If no-one ever turned an ignition key, cars would never emit pollutants
HealthyEnvironment
We can identify behaviour which is both positive and negative for the environment
From Individuals
HealthyEnvironment
In turn, we can identify behaviour of the environment which is positive and negative for individuals
From Individuals
People generally understand what crossing this line entails.
And society has developed measures and regulations for this over the years.

Communities must limit the burden they place on the Earth so it will be able to support coming generations
From Communities
Example:
Leakage of chemicals from landfil <Deposition of domestic waste
<putting waste in disposal bin
Leakage of chemicals from landfil <Deposition of domestic waste
<putting waste in disposal bin
It sounds so simple.It is.
If no-one ever threw anything in the domestic rubbish, there would be no landfill leakage
HealthyEnvironment
In the other direction, communities benefit from being in a healthy environment
From Communities
HealthyEnvironment
We must limit the burden corporations and other organisations place on the Earth so it will be able to support coming generations
From organisations
Organisations must balance their budgets.
Organisations with balanced
budgets
Healthy Environment
Effectively using environmental
services is good for them
Organisations with balanced budgets
Thriving Communities

these factors
PUTTING THE MODEL TO WORK
Most of these interfaces have methods and measures developed which can be easily employed
ISO 14 OOO
ISO 9 OOO
Global Reporting Inititative
Carbon DisclosureProject ISO 26000
Human Rights
ISO 19 O11
