21 Purcell Miller Tritton Sustainability objectives The goal of sustainable development is to “meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs” World Commission on Environment & Development There are many, often contradictory, aspects to this challenge international business and travel being one example The carbon reduction targets being set by governments are long term targets because the ability to meet these in the short term is not available Our carbon governance targets as a business also need to be long term and incorporate our aspirations for growth in the business It is how we meet and minimise these contradictions that will define our success in being a sustainable business One way of doing this is to ensure that we continually improve and increase the level of sustainability of our architecture
