Sustainability Centre was registered as a proprietary limited company in 2001, with the goal to promote ecologically sustainable and socially just development. Owing to the pressure of his academic work, the company's Director, Dr Mark Diesendorf, closed the company on 30 June 2007. However, he continues to trade in his spare time as Sustainability Centre, a sole trader registered in New South Wales, with the same products as the original company. Sustainability Centre's main products are:

• Applied Research and Consulting on various aspects of sustainable development. Our specialities are sustainable energy (i.e. efficient energy use and renewable sources of energy), sustainable urban transport, and the transformation of cities into Eco-cities.

• Short Training Courses on various aspects of sustainable development, with principal case studies drawn from the above specialities.

Mt Siguinang (pictured at the top of this page), which is in Sichuan, China, symbolises the goal of sustainability. Incidentally, its highest peak (altitude 6250m) has apparently not been climbed. The three technologies pictured above -- the Solar Sailor ferry, light rail and BP's futuristic solar powered building -- are also symbols of sustainability. But hardware is only one aspect of the sustainable development process. In facilitating this process, Sustainability Centre also addresses economics, policy options, organisational structure and function, institutions, social equity, education and training.
