Living wage = the remuneration received for a standard workweek by a worker in a particular place
sufficient to afford a decent standard of living for the worker and her or his family.
The un sustainable development goals
SDG 14: Life below water
- Seas ultimately regulate our water, weather, climate, coastlines, oxygen and much of our
food.
- More than 3 billion people depend on the oceans as their primary source of protein.
- Oceans are threatened by marine and nutrient pollution, resource depletion and climate
change, all caused primarily by human actions.
- Adverse effects on marine ecosystems and bio-diversity will create global socio-economic
problems

SDG 14: Life below water. How?
- Track products/materials life cycle: which products could find their way into marine
environments?
- Record and disclose information on chemical/material usage within products, packaging, and
processing to facilitate closing the loop
- Improve resource efficiency by altering the design, manufacture, or use of products and
packaging to reduce waste that could enter the environment.
- Improve resource efficiency by generating value from waste.
- Prevent waste mismanagement or littering that could pollute the marine environment.
- Raise consumer awareness on effective ways to properly dispose of their waste to discourage
littering and promote responsible behavior.
,Dimensions and goals of responsible management
- Sustainability management
* triple bottom line optimization
(economic, social, environmental)
- Responsibility management
* stakeholder value optimization
- Ethics management
* moral excellence
Whereas corporate leaders move heaven and earth to ensure that they hit their profit targets, the
same is very rarely true of their people and planet targets.
Thus: the proper use of the TBL involves, at minimum, progress on two dimensions while the third
remains unaffected.
Circulaire economie
Doing less bad > doing more good
Incremental efficiency > radical innovation
Average European uses 16000 KG material annually. Europe is world’s largest net importer with 760
billion per year.
60% of waste landfilled or incinerated, only 40% reused or recycled, and 95% of material and energy
value lost.
, Circular economy vs business as usual
Business as usual will also improve resource efficiency through innovation, but more so in a circular
economy scenario.
1 Rebound effects can be minimized
New technology can increase resource efficiency, but this may increase consumption, thereby
reducing expected efficiency gain.
2 System level innovation can match product-level innovation
Need for conducive government policies:
- fostering legislation and regulations
- intelligent market incentives
- financing
- knowledge and innovation
- International cooperation
Narrowing loops: higher resource efficiency. Not only circular models, also linear
Slowing loops: Utilization period of products extended and/or intensified
Closing loops: closing loop between post-use and production through recycling
