Sustain 2007 emphasises sustainable development
August 2007
News
Sustain 2007, incorporating Afriwater, takes place from 15 to 17 August at the Sandton Convention Centre. The event aims to showcase equipment, technology, and services required for the protection of the environment and sustainable development. The premise is that economic development can only be sustained if the environment and surrounding social structures are safeguarded.
Said Jo Melville, managing director of Exhibitions for Africa, organisers of Sustain 2007: "The exhibition is specifically aimed at business, from large scale corporate and industrial entities, to small scale enterprises."
Aquatan, whose range of materials and services protect the environment from dangerous substances, believes in making the environment safer for future generations. It will be exhibiting its products and showing how its company makes a difference.
Crystal Clear, who have trained over 1000 environmental auditors to the IEMA international standard, will be communicating its message of non-chemical water treatment.
The African continent has many developing countries striving to break the cycle of poverty and economic under-development. Initiatives such as NEPAD and the Millennium Development Goals (MDG) aim to address these issues, but a wide range of sustainable solutions is needed in the environmental, energy, economic and social sectors if this is to happen.
Businesses have to start thinking about mitigating the risks and maximising opportunities in terms of sustainability to respond to the associated legal and social pressures, and to develop innovative and cost-effective ways to limit their adverse effects.
