The Business Profile - According to a recent United Nations report (1), "... Sustainable development has grown from being a movement mostly focusing on environmental concerns to a widely recognized framework utilized by individuals, governments, corporations and civil society that attempts to balance economic, social, environmental and generational concerns in decision-making and actions at all levels."

"Africa’s challenges are being tackled at different levels, and some successes have been recorded. But not fast enough.
The concepts of sustainable development, appropriate development models, and participatory development are not foreign.
We are aware that our children and the future generations have a right to a world which will also need energy, should be free of pollution, should be rich with biological diversity and should have a climate which will sustain all forms of life." 1991
