ABSTRACT

Governance, how organisations and economies are run, based on an understanding of the interdependence of different constituencies, incorporating a full recognition that they are the servants of people, not the other way around. The environment, a proper recognition that expansion based on a tacit assumption of infinite resources is unsustainable in pure business terms, as well as environmentally. Relentless pursuit of growth with this false belief creates chronic volatility in commodity prices, and economic and political instability. Even if significant global warming does not occur, we will have to make radical improvements in our stewardship of precious resources, particularly water, arable land and commodities, as the world population grows. In the nineteenth and twentieth century's, many societies made huge progress in reducing hazards from infectious diseases, poor sanitation, illiteracy, irregular food supply and poor housing.
