How “ECO” is Curacao
There is an increasing interest in sustainable entrepreneurship in Curaçao. Companies become aware that damage to their image can lead to the downfall of the company. Although in this case, it is the society that requires companies to act ‘ green’ this ‘consumer pull’ trend is positive. However, most initiatives are private projects. To succeed and save our island and the planet, we need the government. Sustainable development should be stimulated by our public sector and pollution should be banned by extra capacity of police and SKS, high fines, and our own responsibility to report illegal dumping (phone: 917).
Of course education and awareness programs are required as well.
