© Institut EDDEC 2016 – All rights reserved « A new term has emerged in recent years to describe our modern era— the Anthropocene. It rightly implies that in this age humans became the dominant force shaping our physical environment. It is evident that an economy that extracts resources at increasing rates without consideration for the environment in which it operates, without consideration for our natural planetary boundaries, cannot continue indefinitely. In a world of soon to be 9 billion consumers who are actively buying manufactured goods, this approach will hamper companies and undermine economies. We need a new way of doing business ». Paul Polman, CEO, Unilever Food for thought 4
