Bryndza then touched on the selection criteria that DuPont uses to decide which projects to undertake. Projects must be consistent with the corporate vision and sustainability principles, unique, multigenerational, consistent with DuPont competences, have a valid route to market, and DuPont s stake needs to be large enough to justify the effort. 

The Natural Step has placed these principles into a framework for sustainable development, which is used in conjunction with backcasting techniques. Actions are launched, step by step, in a strategic way to serve as viable stepping stones towards compliance with the sustainability principles. The framework is systematized as an approach to facilitate the brainstorming sessions and team-planning that is presented in the A,B,C,D methodology. 

To be included and to remain listed in these sustainability indices, BASF has to undergo an annual detailed assessment by a rating agency. The agency s analysts scrutinize to what extent we have integrated sustainability principles into our... 

Larson, Andrea conducts research and teaches as a member of the faculty at the Darden Graduate School of Business Administration. Her work focuses on corporate entrepreneurial innovation at the nexus of business and natural systems. A forthcoming book and wide range of curriculum materials highlight cost, profit, and market advantage opportunities for firms adopting sustainability principles. 

The third phase of the paradigm change involves the design of products and planning of production to ensure that sustainability principles will be adhered to throughout the value chain. The same has to be demanded of the suppliers as well as the fabricators or distributors who interface with the corporate value chain. The entire life cycle of products from cradle to cradle will then be re-examined not only in terms of profitability but also from environmental and social perspectives. ReaUstic end-of-life... 

However, it could also be argued that CDIO is already fundamentally aligned with the ideas of sustainability engineers are said to conceive, design, implement and operate complex technical systems with the entire product/process/system lifecycle in mind. Moreover, sustainability is a complex concept It includes three main dimensions economic, environmental, and social sustainability, including both subject matter and judgmental aspects, such as, ethics and decision-making [14]. There are many places in the CDIO Syllabus that emphasize the lifecycle perspective, for example, requirements should cover aU phases of the lifecycle analyses should be made of lifecycle values and costs and product retirement should be planned ahead. With this broader perspective in mind, links between sustainability principles and CDIO Syllabus topics can be identified [15].

In the future, the increasing interest in the practical implementation of the sustainability principles in coastal engineering will require that more effort should be put on the development of innovative low impact structures with better hydraulic performance characteristics, lower capital and maintenance costs for the proper sheltering of harbor and other facihties as well as for the proper protection of threatened coasts against storm sm-ges. 

The recent interest in coastal sustainability offers planning opportunities for addressing the consequences of sea level rise. Sustainability principles espouse the need for integrated planning and the incorporation of a holistic approach to the coast, with strong consideration of local conditions and the need for adaptive planning to adjust to changing conditions. 

Reconfiguration of the urban landscape offers the oppormnity to rethink urban form around more environmentally sustainable principles (Schilling Logan, 2008) as a recent study suggests, it creates unprecedented opportunities to improve the city s green space network and natural systems.
