At the personal, business, and governmental levels, society is seeking values that are aligned with the concept of <em>sustainability<\/em>. This is the only way to build a society founded in a viable long-term economy. This is called circular society and economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is sustainability?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For the UN and other international organizations, sustainability is a series of characteristics of development that <strong>ensures the needs of the present without compromising the needs of future generations<\/strong>. This definition was proposed in the Brundtland Report of 1987. Today, this is known as <strong>sustainable development<\/strong> of the economy, the environment, and society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How many types of sustainability are there?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Environmental sustainability, which is perhaps the best known form, does not have to be tied to workplace, economic, or urban sustainability. It does undoubtedly have many points in common with them, though, and it&#8217;s been shown that these values do align.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The truth is, <strong>there are many types of sustainability<\/strong>, which are outlined in the 17 Sustainable Development Goals and their aims. Roughly speaking, these fall into: social sustainability, economic sustainability, and environmental sustainability.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/m-wysiwig>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"parent":172,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-195102","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Sustainability: definition, types and SDGs - Ferrovial<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Sustainability are a series of development characteristics that ensure the needs of the present without compromising the needs of future generations.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ferrovial.com\/en\/resources\/sustainability\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Sustainability: definition, types and SDGs - Ferrovial\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Sustainability are a series of development characteristics that ensure the needs of the present without compromising the needs of future generations.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.ferrovial.com\/en\/resources\/sustainability\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Ferrovial\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/ferrovial\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2025-06-25T16:41:58+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@ferrovial\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<!-- \/ Yoast SEO plugin. -->","yoast_head_json":{"title":"Sustainability: definition, types and SDGs - Ferrovial","description":"Sustainability are a series of development characteristics that ensure the needs of the present without compromising the needs of future generations.","robots":{"index":"index","follow":"follow","max-snippet":"max-snippet:-1","max-image-preview":"max-image-preview:large","max-video-preview":"max-video-preview:-1"},"canonical":"https:\/\/www.ferrovial.com\/en\/resources\/sustainability\/","og_locale":"en_US","og_type":"article","og_title":"Sustainability: definition, types and SDGs - Ferrovial","og_description":"Sustainability are a series of development characteristics that ensure the needs of the present without compromising the needs of future generations.","og_url":"https:\/\/www.ferrovial.com\/en\/resources\/sustainability\/","og_site_name":"Ferrovial","article_publisher":"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/ferrovial","article_modified_time":"2025-06-25T16:41:58+00:00","twitter_card":"summary_large_image","twitter_site":"@ferrovial","twitter_misc":{"Est. reading time":"1 minute"},"schema":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https:\/\/www.ferrovial.com\/en\/resources\/sustainability\/","url":"https:\/\/www.ferrovial.com\/en\/resources\/sustainability\/","name":"Sustainability: definition, types and SDGs - Ferrovial","isPartOf":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.ferrovial.com\/en\/#website"},"datePublished":"2021-05-26T07:44:35+00:00","dateModified":"2025-06-25T16:41:58+00:00","description":"Sustainability are a series of development characteristics that ensure the needs of the present without compromising the needs of future generations.","breadcrumb":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.ferrovial.com\/en\/resources\/sustainability\/#breadcrumb"},"inLanguage":"en","potentialAction":[{"@type":"ReadAction","target":["https:\/\/www.ferrovial.com\/en\/resources\/sustainability\/"]}]},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","@id":"https:\/\/www.ferrovial.com\/en\/resources\/sustainability\/#breadcrumb","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Portada","item":"https:\/\/www.ferrovial.com\/en\/"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Resources","item":"https:\/\/www.ferrovial.com\/en\/resources\/"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"Sustainability"}]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https:\/\/www.ferrovial.com\/en\/#website","url":"https:\/\/www.ferrovial.com\/en\/","name":"Ferrovial","description":"Welcome to the Ferrovial&#039;s website, global operator of sustainable infrastructure.
