The philosophy of SD-M


The services of SD-M are based on the following philosophy:

In industrialized countries, the challenges of the UN Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED, Rio de Janeiro, 1992) have been incorporated into the science of business administration and into business strategies mainly in terms of environmental management. In this process, development in developing countries has been ignored. It is necessary to change this opportunity-oriented within the framework of Sustainable Development Management.

In response, the "Rio +10" conference was deliberately named "World Summit on Sustainable Development" (WSSD, Johannesburg, 2002) to reconcile environment and development in an integrated approach. Only this integration can make Sustainable Development Management work effectively.

For establishing goals, strategies and measures it is advisable to focus on the "Big Six" along with material sectoral specific challenges.

As a part of SD-M's philosophy 5% of its profits are donated to KNH.
