What It Means to Us

Sustainability = Stability

In control systems engineering, a stable system is defined as a system that maintains an equilibrium over time all things considered. In other words, a stable system is a sustainable system.

If we consider earth and the people that inhabit it as a complex system with limited space resources, it too requires stability if it is to sustain itself into the future.

The difficulties lie in attempting to strike a balance between growth and stability.

NODE is doing its part and embracing sustainable practices such as ethical production, and transparent supply chains which are crucial for sustainable growth.

Any system that exploits resources or people inherently drives unsustainable growth, risking collapse into chaos.
