Sustainizability Model

The Brundtlandt report defines three domains: Triple P - People, Planet, Profit. For the sake of an even more focused analysis of the problems and to broaden the basis of the support, two domains are added: social and physical. This complementary specification is helpful in the analysis and elaboration of initiatives and structures for the support of the development advisors.
