Sustainable development
For
the business enterprise, sustainable development means adopting business
strategies and activities that meet the needs of the enterprise and its
stakeholders today while protecting, sustaining and enhancing the human and
natural resources that will be needed in the future.
This
definition captures the spirit of the concept as originally proposed by the
World
Commission
on Environment and Development, and recognizes that economic
development must meet the needs of a
business enterprise and its stakeholders, including shareholders, lenders and
customers.

Goals and
Our objective is
to facilitate business-led enterprise solutions to poverty in advancement of
the Millenium Development Goals (MDGs).
These enterprise solutions accelerate and sustain access by the poor to much needed goods and services; and/or employment and
livelihoods opportunities.
RSS business
initiatives engage the private sector in innovative partnerships grounded in
market-based incentives. Business-led enterprise solutions to poverty are
challenging and are often perceived as representing
unquantifiable risk and additional costs to business, causing potentially
interested investors to place opportunities on the “too complicated” pile. The
value proposition of RSS to business is to help address these challenges at
relevant points in the investment cycle and thus reduce the risks and costs
associated with the investment.
RSS is
dedicated to implement projects and provide products globally that sustain and
benefit the environment. Our business is committed to the three pillars of
sustainability: environmental, economic and social.
