Sustainability

Working Group Purpose & Mission

In line with the INCOSE SE Vision 2035 goals, we want to address the systems approach to Sustainability:

- based on the vision of a finite world,

- where economic, social, and environmental aspects

work in a synergistic and balanced manner,

…in order to meet the needs of the present without compromising those of future generations.

The goal is to embed sustainability at the core of systems engineering enabled by systems thinking, considering all beings and elements globally. This empowers organizations to achieve sustainability in a finite world.
