"Sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs." - This is the definition of sustainable development from the UN.
“For me, sustainability means that the Earth’s resources we have inherited and will hand over to our successors will grow, not shrink. With the help of smart and innovative technology, we can ensure that we constantly get more out and consume less. By consuming less, we create the right conditions for a stable, sustainable climate in the long term.”

CTO
