Sustainable Development is regarded as the guiding principle for the sustainable development of humanity as a whole. It is associated with a good quality of life as well as productive commerce – socially just and long term feasible.

The concepts of sustainable development become alive and tangible, and thereby really beneficial, upon their concrete execution and their continuous review.

These paths are supported by the Austrian Institute for Sustainable Development (ÖIN) by activities in the areas of research, development and implementation of sustainability.
