Sustainable development can be neatly encapsulated in the following statements:
‘Development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.’ (Our Common Future – The Brundtland Report - World Commission of Environment and Development – 1987)
‘A better quality of life for everyone, now and for generations to come.’ (A better quality of life: a strategy for sustainable development in the UK Department of the Environment, Transport and the Regions – 1999)

The CS GROUP™ fully endorses the following principles:
The 'Global drivers' which provide a case for sustainable development:
Global population: doubling every 40 years.
Material consumption: doubling every 20 years.
Global warming: the 1990s were the warmest decade in the 20th century.
Inefficiencies: it takes 20 kg of raw materials to produce 1 kg of ‘bought goods’.
Dwindling resources: in 30 to 50 years, the demand for oil and gas will outstrip supply.
Sheer volume: construction is responsible for 40% of global energy use and raw materials.
Energy use: 50% of UK energy consumption is used in the operational phase of buildings.
Transport: 10% of national energy consumption is in the production and transport of construction materials.

'The goal of sustainable development is to enable all people throughout the world to satisfy their basic needs and enjoy a better quality of life, without compromising the quality of life of future generations...
... for the UK Government and the Devolved Administrations, that goal will be pursued in an integrated way through a sustainable, innovative and productive economy that delivers high levels of employment; and a just society that promotes social inclusion, sustainable communities and personal wellbeing. This will be done in ways that protect and enhance the physical and natural environment, and use resources and energy as efficiently as possible.'
