"Sustainable development is the peace policy of the future."
Dr Klaus Topfer, UNEP Executive Director (2004)

Oxberry Risk Strategies support the notion that sustainable development should aim to meet human needs while preserving the environment so that these needs can be met not only in the present, but also for generations to come. A focused Sustainable Development plan should encompass social, environmental, cultural and economic factors and look to promote these fundamental principles in business operations.

Investors and companies should work hand in hand with local governments and communities to assist in:

• Developing social health and welfare programmes that raise the standard of living
• Education programmes that give life skills to communities that increase trade and commerce and generate economic expansion.
• Designing and monitoring successful development programmes that promotes resilience and reduces vulnerability.
