SUSTAINABILITY

July 2014
Mission of CU Green is
to serve individuals and
organizations
interested in
sustainable
development of any
work and product of
livelihood needs by
responsibly utilizing
natural resources.
Markets and business cannot be saved
by economics alone leaving the
ecology and humanity.
Sustainability is a business standard.
Here are the reasons why
organizations in market need a
standard for claims of sustainability,
need of disclosures and treat this as an
ingredient of reliable forecasts of profit
and growth.
8/7/2016 3CUGREEN.COM
Markets that have no credible
and self evident approach of
sustainability are seen with
skepticism, loss of faith and
threat.
Even goodness is doubted and
unfair practices delude
consumers.
Disclosure of sustainability by an
organization is a necessary step
to protect faith of customers in
the market.
8/7/2016 4CUGREEN.COM
An informed choice is a customers’
right.
High cost risen due to increasing
liability and damages are not a
solution.
Buyers and consumers started to
feel the heat already and, market
uncertainty in recent years is a
symptom of losing faith in economic
exchanges and, depression.
8/7/2016 5CUGREEN.COM
It is no surprise that alarmed consumer
and buyers started asking an explanation
how is an organization socially and
environmentally responsible, and
products it produced are safe for the
humanity and preserved natural
resources.
This trend is going to increase and be
more precise.
A relevant and realistic standard is an
answer to these questions either needed
or asked by stakeholders, and
organization is ready with it, and its
business relationship is never at risk.8/7/2016 6
From the point of view of
managing sustainability, ‘proof of
concept’ in a particular scope of
work is identified which can
manage or lead this change from
unstable and risk situation to
relatively safe and sustainable
way of living.
Work and products in market
which are thus evaluated would
have a promise of long term and
undisturbed growth.
8/7/2016 7CUGREEN.COM
These would be ‘as natural’ or
‘zero liability products (with
informed risk)’.
On this promise, investment to
initiate changes in market for a
long term benefits are safe.
It facilitates a roadmap as to how
can these possibilities become a
process with validation of its
results, acceptance and
understanding.
8/7/2016 8CUGREEN.COM
CU Green in this program of work
aims to establish a framework for
interested individuals and
organizations
- to self-asses this claim to
sustainability, validate processes by
bench marking results,
- learn and collaborate among them
and with other resources,
- and economic changes in design of
market for the sustainable
development.

SUSTAINABILITY FUNDAMENTALS
Copyrights CU Green.com
July 2014
Everything that we need for our survival and well-being
depends, either directly or indirectly, on our natural
environment.
Sustainability creates and maintains the conditions under
which humans and nature can exist in productive harmony,
that permit fulfilling the social, economic and other
requirements of present and future generations.
Sustainability is important to making sure that we have and
will continue to have, the water, materials, and resources
to protect human health and our environment.

By the nature of products, food,
energy, health, housing, transport
and social and psychological
needs ought to be natural, and
needed compulsorily by all.
If these arrangements which are
essential are not sustainably
developed, it is a threat to
humanity.

1. Emission reduction … which cause
climate changes
2. Conservation of natural resources
… self realized natural laws
3. Waste management …controlled
handling, recycling, and safe
disposal
4. Human health and safety
5. Ethics, social responsibility, public
system and respect for laws

Reward is divided but Risk is

and any action needed for survival of
humanity and sustainable development
has three options.
Need of development - GREEN

Regulatory restriction – CANNOT BE

SUSTAINABILITY ASSESSMENT
Copyrights CU Green.com
July 2014
According to the Fourth Assessment
Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on
Climate Change (IPCC), green-house gas
(GHG) emissions from the industrialized
agricultural sector account for 10–12% or
5.1–6.1 Gt of the total anthropogenic
annual emissions of CO2-equivalent.
Organic agriculture is a recognized proof of
concept for sustainable development. This
way of agriculture can offer reduction in
emission, food safety, and savings of
energy and water, and increase income by
sustained soil health and productivity.
8/7/2016 17CUGREEN.COM
By use of the standard, organizations
involved in organic agriculture (in short OA)
can voluntarily demonstrate their
commitment to increasing sustainability upon
following aspects
• Emission reduction by carbon fixation in
soil and biomass and avoiding use of
chemical fertilizer
• Reduced water consumption by soil
content and surface improvement,
efficient use of rain, ground and
underground water resources
• Reduced energy consumption by
minimized tillage and other operation
and of fossil fuel
8/7/2016 18CUGREEN.COM
• Improved Soil health
• Waste recycling and its
reutilization by preventing
uncontrolled decomposition
• Cropping intensity and Yield per
unit of land
• Increased Income and profits by
reduced input costs
8/7/2016 19CUGREEN.COM
• Health benefits and reduced
risk of diseases from
organically produced food
• Risk free, fair, safe and
natural environment of work
• Increased demand of product
and price premium in
markets
