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
College 2: Sustainability
Triple bottom line, slavernij
Ecologic performance – social performance – economic performance
Rethinking the Triple Bottom Line
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
Circular economy and the SDGs
12 Responsible consumption and production
8 Decent work and economic growth
14 Life below water
Circulair design: Narrowing, slowing & closing loops
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
