THE SUSTAINABLE BUSINESS

---

It is a sad fact that much of the world is dominated by short-term thinking. And an in-depth look at the numerous problems that humanity now faces often
reveals that the downside of allowing individuals or groups to do whatever they want (without considering future consequences) usually results in all of
us paying dearly for it. Equally as true is that an increasing number of people and their governments are waking up to the fact that producing high levels of costly waste and pollutants does not equate with freedom, nor is it a basic human right. Indeed, it seems fairly safe to assume that the era of privatized profits boosted by socialized costs will, at some point, have to draw to a close. Hence the growing interest in sustainability and the circular economy, catch-all concepts that can be as difficult to comprehend as they are to define.
