sustainability
state of the global goal system, including environmental, social and economic aspects, in which the needs of the present are met without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs
Note 1: The environmental, social and economic aspects interact, are interdependent and are often referred to as the three dimensions of sustainability.
Note 2: Sustainability is the goal of sustainable development (3.2).

4 Actors contributing to the SDGs through fine bubble technologies
4.1 Partners
When partners consider a certain element of the SDGs within the given system, related systems and subsystems can also be considered, because they are all interconnected and interdependent.
For example, an aspect that seems to be primarily related to the environmental dimension of sustainability is also thought to have an impact within a social or economic dimension of sustainability, e.g. water purification using fine bubble technologies has an environmental impact, as well as a social and an economic impact on people and communities working for the factory. The potential for these multiple impacts to occur is always considered when drafting provisions relating to any element of the SDGs.
4.2 Stakeholders
Stakeholders consider how application of a standard would have an impact on their approach, in light of the SDGs. Like other types of impact, the impact on stakeholders can be either beneficial or adverse.
Different groups of stakeholders can be affected by issues of SDGs, either individually or collectively, and any group that can potentially be affected by the use or application of a standard can be taken into account by standards developers. In addition to consumers, customers, workers, organizations in the supply chain and communities, this also includes future generations and the wider general public, especially when coping with broader issues of the SDGs, such as climate change.
Particular attention can be paid to potentially vulnerable stakeholders, such as children or persons with special needs, because the impact on them is thought to be both greater and more difficult to identify than that on other stakeholder interests.
