Sustainable Development Goals #12 – Responsible Consumption and Production
Businesses can find new solutions that enable sustainable consumption and production patterns by understanding the environmental and social impacts of their products and services, both of product life cycles and how these are affected by use within lifestyles. Businesses can identify hot spots within the value chain where interventions have the greatest potential to improve the environmental and social impact of the system as a whole. Businesses can also use their innovative power to design solutions that can both enable and inspire individuals to lead more sustainable lifestyles, reducing impacts and improving well-being.
