Purpose of the report

The world of sustainability consists of a variety of terms ranging from the philosophical to the technical.  In our resources we seek to explain the relevant terms within the text, footnotes or through a glossary. However the entry level for many of our customers is through the introduction, as well as the project and report pages of our website.
