Sustainable Innovation

Sustainable innovation means planning the future to optimize environmental, social, ethical and economic impacts. It is key to the development of any new system or technological application, with benefits for the planet and all humanity, including future generations. By nature, it is inter-sectorial and accounts for a variety of global factors; understanding and managing it thus demands an interdisciplinary approach which combines technologies with analytical tools and methods for assessing, monitoring and developing action plans to achieve integrated sustainability objectives.
