Sustainability

“Sustainability means meeting the needs of the present generations without jeopardizing the needs of the future generations”
“Social, economic and environmental needs are inseparable and interdependent components of human progress”

- Extract from the UN World Commission on Environment and Development Report (1987)

MCMA today is moving from talking about the can to sustainable development. There are three elements to sustainability – economic, environmental and social, all of which we should consider while talking about sustainability.

Each of the MCMA member companies are committed to, balancing the needs of present population with those of our grandchildren.
