Sustainability –
a systemic approach!
The idea for this article originates in pre Corona times. It was the idea to write about the topic sustainability for the Austrian economy. For different reasons I started writing this article late, in the middle of the lockdown triggered by the new virus SARS-CoV-2. However, the economic consequences of this pandemic very vividly show what sustainability really means. These times are unprecedented: companies have been forced to shut down because of state regulations or have not been able to continue their work due to a lack of labor force, broken supply-chains or missing means of transport because the virus forced governments to close borders.
