WE BELIEVE

We believe that businesses should be profitable and drive sustainability. With business comes responsibility; with profit comes the potential to make a difference.

Our perspective is that this life and this Earth are here to be enjoyed, and enjoyed responsibly. See our sustainability model, shown below.

Pressures on the environment from population growth, together with fossil fuel use which may soon reach production peak are bringing the global population to a point of collapse.

The rate of change currently being achieved will not mitigate this collapse. Change agents, change instruments and intervention from NGOs and national and local government are needed in cooperation with trade and industry.

OUR GOALS

To succeed, we must focus on changes in behaviour. AVBP’s main goal is to bring about increase in

• How often individuals think about and hear about sustainability
• How often individuals discuss sustainability
• Volume of consumer purchases promoting sustainability
• Number of goods and services offered which promote sustainability

WHAT WE WANT FROM YOU

That you find out for yourself and form your own understanding of how far along to sustainability we have come, and of the dangers of not working harder to this end.

As an aid, we have created a collection of links on these topics

• PEAKING OF OIL PRODUCTION
• GLOBAL CLIMATE SYSTEM DISRUPTION
• COLLAPSE OF ECOLOGICAL SERVICES
• ECONOMIC COLLAPSE as a result of oil depletion and climate system disruption

Our methodology

We act as the commercial engine to drive business development in networks of local enterprises. For discussion of the “locomotive” approach to commercial networks see the ALMI ÖSTGÖTALAND project (in Swedish)
