Definition of Sustainability
Organic, Green & Fair
When it comes to responsible living and mindful consumer choices, terms like sustainability, organic, green, and fair are often used — but what do they really mean?
Sustainability
Defined in many ways, the general rule being to ensure that we do not deplete natural resources. At the same time, a healthy economy must be maintained for future generations.
Bio
Food from ecological, controlled cultivation. The term is defined by law in the EU. These products must not be grown with the use of chemical agents such as artificial fertilizers, and they must not be genetically modified.
Fair Trade
Improving people's living and working conditions, the entire supply chain, and strengthening their economic position. Fair prices for fair work.
Green
Term that is used in connection with environmental awareness. It is a multifaceted term, but it is implied positively for the environment as well as for the people involved.
