What is sustainability?

Although the word "sustainability" is perceived as a recent term, it has a long history. The development of this concept is often based on disasters related to the use of nature. Confucius set the foundations of sustainability around 500 B.C. He advised his friends to limit themselves to basic needs due to limited supply of natural resources. The German term for sustainability is "Nachhaltigkeit" and was written by Hans Carl von Carlowitz. In 1713, he proposed sustainable forestry operations by suggesting that a new tree be planted for each tree felled. Today's definition is based on three pillars: ecology, economy and social responsibility. These three pillars are closely related and interact with each other. Sustainability occurs when ecology, economy and social responsibility are in balance.

Why sustainability?

Ecology: The purpose of ecology is to protect nature, raw materials and resources. Future generations should find the same ecological quality as today's generation.

Economics: In order to ensure a sustainable economy, a continuous economic growth is required considering all life cycles. For example, it is not enough to evaluate purchasing costs only.

Social responsibility: A decisive issue related to social responsibility, such as the prohibition of human trafficking, child labor, etc. This means not only the use of non-hazardous materials, but also the assistance for persons with personal restrictions. In addition, attention must be paid to the importance of light, temperature, fresh air, noise and other effects on the inhabitants of the building.
