Underlying Principles
 

8. Promote sustainable development for all, combining social economic and environmental objectives.

  • All organisations exist not just in the environment, but in a wider social, political and economic world. Environmental practice should demonstrate the need to balance economic gains, social considerations and environmental improvements. They are both inter-linked and necessary for each other. Environmental practitioners need to take account of the systems outside the workplace in order to see how they and their organisation can work other organisations locally, nationally and internationally to promote a world that future generations can enjoy.

9. Encourage collective responses and individual responsibility.

  • The UN in Agenda 21 agreed that only by working in partnerships can we hope to secure a future fit for all.. No individual can hope to save the world, but every individual can realise their contribution to environmental degradation and improved environmental performance. Working together can achieve much more. Reflecting on the roles and responsibilities should lead to improved responses of candidates.
