Purpose

Integral World aims to drive a shift towards more sustainable consumption and production models across sectors. We advocate for the adoption of circular economy principles that minimize resource depletion, waste generation, and environmental degradation throughout product lifecycles. Integral World collaborates with businesses to promote eco-friendly production processes, sustainable sourcing practices, and the integration of renewable materials. It empowers consumers through awareness campaigns and educational initiatives on responsible consumption habits and conscious purchasing decisions.

Integral World supports initiatives that foster resource efficiency, waste reduction strategies, and innovative recycling solutions. Through policy advocacy and multi-stakeholder partnerships, it strives to create an enabling environment for sustainable business practices, green procurement policies, and extended producer responsibility. By championing sustainability certifications, product transparency, and accountability mechanisms, Integral World encourages a transition towards responsible production and consumption patterns across value chains. This holistic approach contributes to environmental conservation, addresses climate change, and promotes equitable economic development.

Pursuit

Integral World is dedicated to advancing responsible consumption and production practices in alignment with SDG 12. We advocate for the implementation of sustainable consumption and production(SCP) national action plans, promoting mainstreaming SCP into policies worldwide. By fostering partnerships with businesses, we encourage the adoption of eco-friendly production methods and sustainable sourcing practices, aiming for efficient resource use and reduced environmental impact. Through educational campaigns, Integral World helps in raising awareness about sustainable lifestyles and consumption habits. We support waste reduction strategies, recycling initiatives, and the environmentally sound management of chemicals and waste. Collaborating with governments, we promote sustainable public procurement policies and provide support to developing countries for research and development in sustainable consumption and production.

Integral World envisions a world where responsible consumption and production patterns are the norm, ensuring a harmonious relationship between human activity and the environment for present and future generations.
