Sustainable development is a fundamental break that's going to reshuffle the entire deck. There are companies today that are going to dominate in the future simply because they understand that.

If you look at the state of our planet, the next generations won't be around if we consider sustainability as a gimmick.
What pleases me most is that sustainable development is on almost everybody's agenda now.

So-called 'sustainable development'... is meaningless drivel.
