Albert Einstein once said that in order for mankind to survive, people must develop a substantially new manner of thinking. For decades, world leaders have skipped this " new way of thinking " until it went out with sustainable development sustainable response.

In cases where traditional approaches can lead to traffic congestion, l ' l ' expansion, pollution and over-consumption of resources, sustainable development offers real solutions that will enhance the future.

More simply, sustainable development provides a framework whereby the community can use resources efficiently, create effective infrastructures, protect and improve the quality of life and create new enterprises to strengthen their economies. It can help create healthy communities can sustain this generation, as well as those of the future.

Community of the future will be very different from today's community. Are different due to a whole new set of socio-economic forces, technological and global. early engines must understand these forces, and only using the ' application of this understanding can be supported communities and benefit from an increasingly complex future.

While sustainability has its roots in the traditions of the past, but is also strongly influenced by forces only this decade. These forces have limited resources, the ' urbanisation, scientific knowledge, technology, social awareness, and health and safety. All these should be recognized for their impact on the potential and opportunities for the community. Properly harnessed, these forces can play an important role in achieving the objectives of sustainable development.

In the existing context scope ', sustainable development is particularly effective in a tangible way.

Take the many sustainable development programmes of Shell Philippines Exploration B.V. (SPEX) for example. Through Pilipinas Shell Foundation Inc. (PSFI), Spex initiated several programs to maximize the economic, social and environmental in the premises in which it operates. For its Malampaya Deep Water Gas to project power, SPEX took all three factors into account before making important business decisions. This process is tedious eventually won one for SPEX a place among the ten citations desirable by the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) and the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP).

SPEX ' initiatives that deserved the prize of the United Nations are the Malampaya project, which in itself is a financially sound project that creates job opportunities and attracts foreign investors; programs for youth empowerment as Sanayan sa Kakayahang Agrikultura (SAKA), a program for out-of-school youth and Sanayan sa Kakayahang Industriyal (SKIL), a course of a year on various industrial skills geared towards the long-term employment '; environmental conservation programs such as biodiversity Conservation Program, Mindoro Malampaya Sound ecological Study Program and Subic Bay Habitat Restoration Program Bat and tilted health initiatives such as the Ligtas Kilusan Malaria and sharing health facilities equipped with the community.

All these programs of sustainable development, a high value on quality of life and infuse technology with a purpose. They optimize key resources, including human resources, and are responsive and proactive. Both to mitigate natural hazards, the prevention of crime, or to attract economic development, SPEX ' programs do not simply react to circumstances or events, but take action to prevent risks to the well-being of the community and to maximize good opportunities to preserve the Philippine heritage.

** The Malampaya Deep Water Gas-to-Power project investment ' represents the largest and most important industry in the history of the Philippines. And announces the birth of ' natural gas industry of the country that will allow the supply of clean fuel and all ' environment programme provide 2,700 megawatts of power at Luzon, for a period of 20 years. This satisfies the requirement of 30% of energy generation in Luzon. Malampaya paves the way for the ' high economic benefits to the Philippines, give the country a significant revenue stream in the long term of about US $ 8 -10000000000 to the Government for the duration of the project, in addition to a saving of exchange for the same entity.
