“Given the current state of environmental degradation and resource depletion, a paradigm shift in our economic model is critically called for, in order to safeguard long-term competitiveness. Sustainability can no longer be viewed as a prerogative, but as a responsibility, and this is where the forward-looking companies can capitalize on the opportunity to become leaders in the field.”
