Scientific contribution


Mio sustains the idea that companies in pursuit of sustainability need to go beyond charity initiatives and corporate welfare practices. According to Mio, managing a sustainable company implies:

developing a new concept of product or service underpinned by technology innovation, economic accessibility and close cooperation with the public
building a new business model that is oriented towards the future long-term value creation
reorganizing the production process to reduce consumption of natural resources
focus on circular economy
emphasis on the respect toward each individual, human rights protection and equitable and fair wealth distribution
changing the short-term profit-seeking mindset of a “hunter” to the one of a “farmer” whose values are geared towards cultivating the land responsibly to ensure its long-term use for the future generations and overall prosperity of the community
taking responsibility for increasing consumer understanding, appreciation and use of the new sustainable consumption models and educating them on the path of becoming “better citizens”.
