What is Sustainability?
Sustainable Growth
“Sustainability” applies not simply to environmental matters, but also to wider social and economic issues. It encompasses climate change, but also applies to our wider social responsibilities.
The SRM team believes the way to achieve truly successful sustainability is through a holistic approach to development and practice which embraces the Triple Bottom Line; combining economic, social and environmental concerns with equal weight.
Often thinking on sustainability typically includes economic and environmental factors, but neglects social concerns. Based on the experience and success of the pioneering ‘Hilt Holt Wood’ enterprise, of which our principal consultant, Nigel Lowthrop, was co-founder, we believe that enterprise encompassing the Triple Bottom Line is essential to achieving a truly sustainable future.
