Sustainable Today
Mission Pathways
Representatives of Sustainable Today are committed to the following mission pathways:
Circular city center and sustainable consumption
In our cities, there are many opportunities for a circular economy. According to the principles of the R-ladder, we will ensure that raw materials, components, and products lose their value as little as possible and that we focus on reusing as much as possible.
Collaboration and knowledge sharing
Together we increase awareness and engage ambassadors, frontrunners, and exemplary projects aimed at the sustainability of business activities in our cities.
Energy and smart grids
Business parks are large consumers of energy. Sustainable energy from solar and wind is increasingly being generated. By managing demand in combination with storage and a so-called 'smart grid', this can be better aligned with supply.
Healthy green working environment
In industrial areas, the risk of waterlogging and heat is often high due to the lack of greenery and the extensive hard surfaces. Damage and nuisance from climate change in industrial areas can be mitigated by designing them to be green and shaded. This makes industrial areas more climate-resilient and improves the quality of the living and working environment.
Regional raw materials market
To prevent new raw materials from being used in construction and industry, a circular raw materials bank can provide a solution. Here, reusable materials are registered and made available.
Scaling up sustainable business parks
Sustainability of a business park requires a collective approach. This means cooperation between entrepreneurs (association), property owners, suppliers, advisors, and the government.
Sustainability of public space in the neighborhoods
We prioritize the quality of public spaces in our neighborhoods. For this, sustainability, water, and greenery are guiding principles. A green, sustainable, and healthy public space plays an important role in meeting and recreation. It is essential for, among other things, combating heat stress and water nuisance.
Sustainable and circular business operations
A sustainable and circular economy focuses on reducing consumption, production, and the reuse of products, materials, and raw materials. Companies play an important role in this.
Sustainable mobility and logistics
There are various ways to make mobility in the business park more sustainable. Sustainable commuting to and from work offers various benefits and opportunities. It results in climate gains, it is healthier, and it is often cheaper. Working from home, using public transport or cycling to work, carpooling, or using an electric bike.
