SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT: WHAT IS IT? 🌱

Sustainable development is a concept that refers to economic and social growth that respects the environment and aims for prosperity without depleting natural resources or causing irreparable damage to our ecosystem. In other words, it's a way of optimizing growth without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. The notion of sustainable development is based on 3 essential and interdependent pillars: 

- Economic: this pillar focuses on stable, balanced economic growth. This means creating an economy that can continue to grow without causing long-term damage, while ensuring a fair distribution of wealth.
- Social: this means ensuring social equity, justice, citizen participation, education, health and respect for human rights. In short, it's about creating a society where people have access to the resources and opportunities to realize their potential.
- Environmental: here, the focus is on respecting our ecosystem and preserving biodiversity and the environment. This means minimizing the carbon footprint of human actions, protecting endangered species and conserving natural resources for future generations.

Sustainable development invites us to rethink the way we live, work and interact with our planet. It's not just about protecting the environment, but creating a world where everyone can live in dignity, prosperity and respect for nature.

WHAT IS SUSTAINABLE INVESTMENT?

Sustainable investment, also known as Socially Responsible Investment (SRI) or ESG investment (for Environment, Social, Governance), refers to an investment strategy that takes into account not only financial return, but also environmental, social and corporate governance criteria.

The aim of sustainable investment is twofold: to achieve a financial return while promoting practices that respect the environment, benefit society and are based on sound, ethical corporate governance.

Many investment funds and financial products specialize in SRI, offering investors the chance to invest their money in ways that have a positive effect on the environment and reflect their values and concerns about sustainable development.
