With Earth Day just a few days away, it is an opportune time to take stock and think of the future. In an era where sustainable development is an everyday essential, developing tools to put this principle to work in a consistent and responsible way is a central issue. Whether in regard to climate change, market globalization or the use of resources by an ever-growing population, decision-making must be well-reasoned, strategic and responsible.
