  21. Purcell Miller TrittonSustainability objectives • The goal of sustainable development is to • “meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs” • World Commission on Environment & Development • There are many, often contradictory, aspects to this challenge international business and travel being one example • The carbon reduction targets being set by governments are long term targets because the ability to meet these in the short term is not available • Our carbon governance targets as a business also need to be long term and incorporate our aspirations for growth in the business • It is how we meet and minimise these contradictions that will define our success in being a sustainable business • One way of doing this is to ensure that we continually improve and increase the level of sustainability of our architecture
