‘Sustainability’ has recently become ubiquitous – so ubiquitous that this movement has led to possible misconceptions and misunderstandings of its very mean meaning. Of higher concern is the now apparent (mis)appropriation – and hijacking – of the entire concept and field, with the expansion of trendy keywords and acronyms such as ‘ESG’ and other initiatives. This presentation will delve into these issues and provide a clearer, broader, a more accurate and a more holistic picture of this space… and where we are (or should be) headed.
