Mobility

Sustainable mobility refers to a transportation system that reduces environmental impact and maximises energy efficiency, allowing users to interact and move more easily. The World Business Council for Sustainable Development states that it “gives people the freedom to move, communicate and connect, with an eye to human and environmental aspects, today and tomorrow”. Transport consumes a fifth of the world’s primary energy sources, 40 per cent of which in urban settings. In the next 20 years, halving global fuel consumption levels is vital. Governments must invest in readily available sustainable technologies like hybrid or electric engines. Using less fuel means living in a safer world, stimulating economic growth, fighting climate change and reducing pollution, directly linked to major health concerns. For a more sustainable mobility system we need more science, connectivity, design, technology, smart cities, modern infrastructure, electric cars and above all more open minds, willing to change habits and educate themselves.

LifeGate
Many believe sustainability is becoming an urgent need, whilst others see it first and foremost as a duty. Often it is brandished as an accessory, sometimes it is used as a gateway, others still it is considered merely a credential. To us, environmental and human sustainability represent an authentic lifestyle that defines our way of being in the world; an attitude centred around conscientiousness and concrete actions. For 20 years we have operated to catalyse social change, to awaken and feed a new state of ecological awareness, to inspire and promote new business and consumption models for people as well as companies. We are the space in which education becomes determination, feeling becomes action, the goal becomes solution and result. We favour those who choose to be guided by ethical values, who respect ecosystems and all their life forms. We are on the side of those who decide to live with passion and purpose, acting to make the world a better place.
