This document underlined the responsibility humankind has toward the future generations with an elegant definition that has had far-reaching acceptance from governments NGOs as well as private organizations Sustainable development is development that meets the needs of present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. 24 p Although this laudable claim was not easy to operationalize it has been very successful in environmental politics as well as in mobilization. Indeed the United Nations declared sustainability as the guiding principle for the 21st century at the World Conference in Rio de Janeiro and promoted a concrete action plan Agenda 21 United Nations Environment Programme UNEP 1992 . The confirmation of this concept in Johannesburg in 2002 introduced the life cycle aspect. Furthermore the joint UNEP-SETAC Life Cycle Initiative was started just prior to the Johannesburg forum Topfer 2002 . This initiative aims at a global promotion and use of life cycle thinking life cycle assessment LCA and life cycle management LCM . Acting sustainability will require its quantification the identification of appropriate and valid indicators as well as associated thresholds. How this is achieved will be the topic of debate though there is widespread belief that sustainability will involve an economic axis that will require life cycle costing. The standard model which is well accepted by industry and often referred to as the triple bottom line is a 3-pillar interpretation of sustainability. It states essentially that environmental economic and social aspects have to be tuned and checked against each another. One .
