What is Sustainability?
A Brief History Detour
What does sustainability mean?
Origins of the Concept
- The German word "Nachhaltigkeit" (meaning "sustained yield") was first used in 1713 by Hans Carl von Carlowitz in his book "Sylvicultura Oeconomica" in the context of forestry and managing natural resources.
- In the 19th century, the concept of sustainable forestry practices spread throughout Europe, and the term was translated into other languages like French ("produit soutenu") and English ("sustained yield").
- In 1972, the word "sustainability" was first used in an environmental context in the book "Blueprint for Survival" by a group of scientists discussing the future of humanity.
Popularization of the Term
- In 1980, the term "sustainable development" first appeared in the publication "World Conservation Strategy" by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) and the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP).
- The 1987 Brundtland Report by the United Nations, which defined sustainable development as "development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs," popularized and institutionalized the concept globally.
- The 1992 Earth Summit in Rio consolidated the principle of "sustainable development" by gaining consensus from world leaders.
Harmony In Sustainability
Elevating Collective Well-being and Prosperity
Achieving holistic sustainability transforms communities into thriving hubs of well-being and opportunity. Human sustainability unfolds in empowered individuals with improved access to education, healthcare, and economic prospects. Social sustainability creates inclusive societies where diversity flourishes, fostering a sense of equality and shared well-being. Economic sustainability builds robust and responsible economies, promoting equitable wealth distribution and innovative models for lasting prosperity. Meanwhile, environmental sustainability safeguards our planet, ensuring healthy ecosystems, resource conservation, and a harmonious coexistence with nature. Together, these pillars redefine success, creating a world where people, societies, economies, and the environment flourish in sustainable harmony.

Evolancia: A Holistic Fusion of Sports, Business, and Sustainability
At Evolancia, we believe that true impact is created at the intersection of business, social innovation, and sustainability.

However, sports marketing is just Phase One of Evolancia’s larger cycle. As we establish a strong foundation through sports, we transition seamlessly into a series of strategically timed projects, each contributing to a comprehensive ecosystem of sustainable impact:
