Portugal/France
Centre for Business and Public Sector Ethics is endorsing in 2008 the idea and physical development of an ecovillage near Lisbon, Portugal. This scheme is being promoted by Frederic Coustols and his organisation `Design a Sustainable Tomorrow SA` (DST). The strategic vision of DST is the establishment of a new paradigm, a new standard for development of communities. DST intends to set the standards for sustainable building of communities and related activities. The conceptual framework assumes a limitation currently at global and local levels in meeting the needs of human settlement.
DST works further within this paradigm using the concept of `Ecological Footprint`. `Ecological Footprint` is an accounting tool to estimate the resource consumption and waste assimilation requirements of a specific human population and providing corresponding productive land area. Meaning - just how big an area of land would have to be around any new settlement , in order to support all the ecologically-driven resources necessary for its on-going existence? Obviously, the answer to this question will vary from place to place, because of differing climates, soil types, water resources and so on.
DST aligns its outlook with the work of Dr Karl-Henrik Robert, who was awarded the Green Cross Award for International leaders and the Blue Planet Prize (the "environmental" Nobel) in 2002.
Donors willing to support our Centre for Business and Public Sector Ethics to enable us to contribute ethics into this Lisbon project, please contact the Centre`s Director, Dr Rosamund Thomas.

International
The Centre values its links with the United Nations, the World Bank, OECD, International Labour Office (ILO), and other international bodies, which have established policies in the fields of Business Ethics, Corporate Social Responsibility, Government Ethics, Anti-Corruption and Environmental Sustainability and will develop them further.
