Sound and sustainable management of our natural resources, renewable as well as non-renewable, is vital for meeting the needs of society, today and in the future.
Responsible management generates positive social and economic returns while reducing pollution and greenhouse gas emissions, minimising waste, and maintaining biodiversity and vital ecosystem functions and services.
