What is SUSTAIN?
“What surrounds us is the secret to survival. The more our world looks and functions like this natural world the more likely we are to be accepted in this home that is ours, but not ours alone. We are still beholden to ecological laws, the same as any other form. The most irrevocable of these laws says that a species cannot occupy a niche – there has to be some sharing”
  - Janine Benyus (author of ‘Biomimicry’)

SUSTAIN is a systematic training approach specifically designed to assist Australian managers to achieve improved results through the use of sustainable management practices. It employs a sound practical educational methodology that can be readily utilised across the whole spectrum of industries. Potentially it forms the basis of a national training program aimed at developing managerial skills which could secure long-term sustainability, business profitability, and ultimately, contribute to our national well-being.
