In recent decades, sustainability has become a core framework for economic and societal development. Competitiveness is no longer measured solely by financials; impact on the environment, employees, customers, suppliers, and local communities is critical. Sustainable business integrates economic viability, environmental responsibility, and social justice—the triple bottom line.

In practice, companies should reduce ecological footprint, ensure fair and inclusive workplaces, communicate transparently, and innovate for long-term value. This approach underpins a green economy moving toward low‑carbon, circular, and inclusive growth.

1. Responsible use of resources – minimize waste of materials and energy; prefer renewable and recycled inputs.
2. Respect for the environment – measure, reduce, and offset impacts across operations and supply chains.
3. Social justice & fair work – safe workplaces, fair pay, equal opportunities, community impact.
4. Transparency & ethical management – disclose ESG performance; enforce fair practices; counter corruption.
5. Innovation & long-term value – green technologies and models (renting, sharing) that sustain competitiveness.

1. Protect heritage – safeguard nature and culture; avoid over‑commercialization.
2. Reduce footprint – renewables, efficiency, recycling, low‑impact mobility.
3. Strengthen communities – local jobs, suppliers, partnerships, participatory governance.
4. Quality experiences – authenticity and safety over volume; respect environment and culture.
5. Transparency & education – inform guests on water/energy savings and local support.

1. Environmentally responsible creation – eco‑materials, low‑emission tech, minimal event waste.
2. Ethical & inclusive collaboration – fair pay, diversity, community engagement.
3. Economic viability & fair market – transparent pricing; IP fairness; long‑term value.
4. Cultural & social responsibility – content that inspires positive change; avoid harmful stereotypes.
5. Innovation & digital transformation – online distribution, virtual events, recycled 3D print.
