In a video interview at the BSR Conference 2012, Isabel Sebastian of Bhutan Luminous Consultancy discussed how happiness and well-being could be used as a measure of progress in sustainability.
Sebastian highlighted the shift over the past 20 years in how companies and individuals are thinking about sustainability—from environmental awareness, to community awareness, and now to a personal level of awareness. Companies are not only measuring profits but also their contributions to human well-being. Likewise, individuals are shying away from over-consumption in the context of happiness:
“For most of us who live in Western societies, who live a comfortable life, there is a new conversation to be had: We have all this, and at what point is that enough?”
—Isabel Sebastian, Business Development Manager at Bhutan Luminous Consultancy, Kingdom of Bhutan, October 2012
