Editorial: Sustainable development gains momentum

By Anda Sebesi, Editor-in-Chief, Business Review Magazine

“Working towards a sustainable future is no longer just an option; it is mandatory and it’s becoming a top priority for governments and private companies worldwide. Transitioning towards a circular economy model is not easy, but it is one of the most important ways in which our global society can provide a better life for the coming generations. Many challenges arise as part of the shift from linear to circular business models, which generates changes in supply chains, product design, and consumer behaviour. Moving to circular practices may require upfront investments in innovative technologies, waste management infrastructure, and process re-engineering.

The circular economy concept introduces innovative business models and cross-sector collaboration. Transvertical approaches in water management, energy efficiency, and waste management are vital for circular economy practices. Romania’s circular economy indicators point to significant potential for improvement. The private sector, which has been a driver of Romania’s development for decades, remains crucial in the government’s implementation of the National Circular Economy Strategy (NCES) and Circular Economy Action Plan (CEAP).

Real estate is one of the industries that have taken significant steps towards sustainability, with green buildings now available in both the office and industrial segments. This is why we’ve dedicated this cover story to real estate developer Globalworth, which has increased the focus on sustainability across its operations and development projects. The company is fully committed to delivering on the ESG objectives it has set for the coming years. It has pledged to reduce its carbon footprint by 40 percent by 2030, using 2019 as a baseline, and it is also engaged in an elaborate process of incorporating new sustainable features into its industrial and office portfolio.”
