Sustainability

Sustainability is a broad discipline, giving society insights into most aspects of the human world from business to technology to environment and the social sciences. In short, sustainability looks to protect our natural environment, human and ecological health, while driving innovations and without compromising our way of life. There are countless examples throughout human history where a civilization has damaged its own environment and seriously affected its own survival chances.

Sustainability is not just about the environment, it's also about our health as a society in ensuring that no people or areas of life suffer as a result of environmental legislation. In 2005, the World Summit on Social Development identified three pivotal areas that contribute to the philosophy and social science of sustainable development. World Commission on Environment and Development (WCED), described it as “development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs". We must consider the future then, in making our decisions about the present.

  • The Three Pillars of Sustainability
  • In 2005, the World Summit on Social Development identified three core areas that contribute to the philosophy and social science of sustainable development. Oxy Ventures consider the future then, in making our decisions about the present.

  • Economic Development
  • The supply and demand market is consumerist in nature and modern life requires a lot of resources every single day; for the betterment of the environment, getting what we consume under control is the paramount issue. Economic development is about giving people what they want without compromising the quality of life, especially in the developing world, and reducing the financial burden. Hence, always Oxy Ventures focus on supports the society in accordance to do the right thing in many ways.

The biggest hot topic for many people right now is sustainable housing and how can build the homes from sustainable material. Therefore Oxy Ventures encouraging people to participate in environmental sustainability and advising them about the effects of environmental protection as well as warning of the dangers of it if cannot achieve the required goals. The biggest social activism movement related to the social development side of sustainability has been identified such as encouraging good farming practices while ensuring farmers who produce foods receive a decent living wage, developing the quality standards of the schools in rural areas (Sri Lanka), and stabilizing financial scholarship programs for selected students in Sri Lankan context.

  • Environmental Protection
  • There are incentives for installing renewable power sources in our homes and businesses. Environmental protection is the third pillar and to many, the primary concern of the future of humanity. It defines how we should study and protect ecosystems, air quality, integrity and sustainability of our resources and focusing on the elements that place stress on the environment.
