Sustainable Connectivity
The common thread running through these seemingly disparate activities is the concept of "sustainable connectivity" - perhaps the one word that truly characterises the complex world we live in today. Products, places, and people are now more connected than ever across the globe, as means of communication, transportation, and production reduce to zero what until recently had been insuperable distances in time and space. But we must learn to do this in a sustainable manner: sustainable global energy sources and products available at the right time and place; sustainable international travel that allows people to better get to know each other and the environment they share; and sustainable communities cherishing diversity and prosperity.
It is by pursuing such "sustainable connectivity" of Products, Places, and People that we aim to fulfil our vision of Bringing the World Closer Together.
