Sustainable Quality of Life
Sustainable Quality of Life
Fortunately, the concept of sustainability is becoming more widespread in the financial sector. However, there still are no binding standards or standardized methods for determining whether financial assets can be described as sustainable. For Forma Futura, it was clear when the company was being founded that it is important to define one's own, clear measures. . For us, sustainability means improving the quality of life while respecting the biophysical capacity of the earth and preserving it for future generations.
Quality of Life
The decisive criterion is the quality of human life. When we define the quality of life we adhere to the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment. This study, initiated by the UN and involving over 1360 scientists from 95 countries, investigated the consequences of ecosystem changes on the quality of life from 2001 to 2005. According to this study, the quality of life is determined by the following five components:
- health
- coverage of basic material needs
- security
- good social relationships
- freedom of choice and action
