The Entrepreneurial and Innovative Collective
About Sustainability
Sustainability is concerned with whether there will be resources available for both present and future generations to meet their needs. Thus, its relationship with entrepreneurship and innovation is codependent.
It is crucial that innovation should concentrate on pressing environmental issues like resource scarcity, climate crisis natural disasters and widespread pollution, in order to ensure that we have a planet to live on. It is through innovation and sustainability-oriented businesses that human beings can begin to repair the planet. Entrepreneurship with a blatant disregard of its effects on the air, water and land will only cause more harm than good.
Our effort towards a sustainable world
Keeping the above mind, the Sustainability Affairs Department at GO aims to share information and resources on how budding entrepreneurs can innovate, sustainably.
