2. Which of these areas is becoming more
available to coming generations?
Health, water and food?
The Environment?
Economic stability?
Communities?

3. We see most heading in a counter –
sustainable direction
Health, water and food
The Environment?
Economic stability?
Communities?

4. We need a model to help analyze
development that will
show the way forward to:
A healthy life…
Preserving the environment…
Keeping organizations stable…
And communities thriving.

5. Let’s sit down together and look at the way
things behave around us and
how they affect other things
It’s all about
BEHAVIOUR of people
and systems

6. We analyze the behaviour of people
and systems and their effects on other
systems
Negative effect < caused by < behaviour

7. Example:
Pollutants to air, soil and water< car
emissions < driving a car
Negative effect< caused by < behaviour

8. Healthy
Environment
We must limit the burden
we place on the Earth so it
will be able to support
coming generations
From
Individuals

9. Example:
Pollutants to air, soil and water
< car emissions
< driving a car
It sounds so simple.
It is.
If no-one ever turned an ignition key, cars would
never emit pollutants

10. Healthy
Environment
We can identify behaviour
which is both positive and
negative for the
environment
From
Individuals

11. Healthy
Environment
In turn, we can identify
behaviour of the
environment which is
positive and negative for
individuals
From
Individuals

12. People generally understand
what crossing this line entails.
And society has developed
measures and regulations for
this over the years.
Healthy environment
Build up of Nutrients,
pollutants

13. And people generally understand
what crossing this line entails.
Healthy individuals
Behaviour
causing environmental
depletion

14. This aspect is well understood, too
Healthy individuals
Effects on health of
environmental factors

15. Healthy
Environment
Communities must limit
the burden they place on
the Earth so it will be able
to support coming
generations
From
Communities

16. Example:
Leakage of chemicals from landfil
<Deposition of domestic waste
<putting waste in disposal bin

17. Leakage of chemicals from landfil
<Deposition of domestic waste
<putting waste in disposal bin
It sounds so simple.
It is.
If no-one ever threw anything in the domestic rubbish,
there would be no landfill leakage

18. Healthy
Environment
In the other direction,
communities benefit from
being in a healthy
environment
From
Communities

19. Healthy
Environment
We must limit the burden
corporations and other
organisations place on the Earth so
it will be able to support coming
generations
From
organisations

20. Organisations must
balance their budgets.
Organisations
with balanced
budgets
Healthy
Environment
Effectively using
environmental services is
good for them

21. Organisations with
balanced budgets
Thriving
Communities
Companies
contribute to the
community by
providing jobs, etc

22. Healthy
Individuals
Thriving
Communitie
s
Healthy Individuals
contribute positively to
organizations and the
community
Organisations

23. Healthy
Individuals
Health is good for
companies and society
Organizations

balance
Thriving
Communities

24. Healthy
Environment
Healthy
Individuals
Thriving
Communitie
s
Organizations
in economic
balance
Sustainability is a lasting
dynamic balance
between these factors

25. PUTTING THE MODEL TO WORK

26. Most of these interfaces have methods
and measures developed which can be
easily employed

27. ISO 14 OOO
ISO 9 OOO
Global Reporting Inititative
Carbon Disclosure
Project ISO 26000
Human Rights
ISO 19 O11
