SUSTAINABILITY

SUSTAINABILITY & SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT is defined as development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.

Meeting future needs depends on how well we balance social, economic, and environmental objectives—or needs—when making decisions today.

FERIS urges business leaders to look beyond profit margins and engage in sustainable development as a best practice for enhancing circular economy efforts. We encourage recycling best practices as a means of avoiding overconsumption of the earth’s natural resources.

We support protective and proactive community action by advocating for the prevention of contamination through enhanced design and processing standards.
