Pioneering Sustainable Development

LEAD's journey traces back to the seminal 1987 Brundtland Commission Report, "Our Common Future," which defined sustainable development as meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. The report catalyzed the Earth Summit in 1992, leading to the Rio Declaration and Agenda 21.
