"Sustainable Development is one that satisfies current needs without jeopardising the ability of future generations to meet theirs."

Gro Harlem BRUNDTLAND
(Taken from the report "Our common future", 1987)

Sustainable development describes a development that simultaneously meets the three following criteria: cost effectiveness, social fairness and a prudent ecological approach. These three aims are also linked to a series of principles (prevention, responsibility, participation, solidarity and thrifty management) which, when applied, ensure sound governance.
