"Sustainable Development is Development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. It is not a fixed state of harmony, but rather a process of change in which the exploitation of resources, the direction of investments, the orientation of technological development, and institutional change are made consistent with future as well as present needs." (Brundtland Report 1987)

Global sustainability will be the driving force changing the way we work and live in the 21st century.

Globalisation, revolutions in information and communications, environmental and community awareness and action are driving corporate and political leaders and citizens to address the future in very different ways.

Companies, government and non-government organizations are looking to new concepts and methods to operate. The Triple Bottom Line Plus One (environmental, social & cultural, economic, governance) provides a systematic approach to begin to unravel just how we might work in the 21st century.

GS@RMIT has been established to develop these concepts in practical ways so that they can be applied to the work of RMIT itself and to organizations in the private and public sectors.
