SustainableTogether¶
Transforming a conventional enterprise, business model, and product into a sustainable one.
Welcome to the SustainableTogether documentation site. This project is an open-source initiative by the INCOSE Sustainability Working Group exploring how systems engineering can support the transformation from conventional practices to sustainable business models, enterprise architecture and products for a flourishing future.
In its generic term, the project serves as a platform, where like-minded people come together, solve sustainability challenges and spread them to the world.
Everyone is welcome, every skill is needed to tackle this wicked problem.
The Story of the project¶
Once upon a time, we were SolarX — a typical solar company. We sold solar systems that helped reduce energy bills, but our business model had limitations: high prices, limited accessibility, and products focused more on efficiency than on their full environmental and social impact.
Then we asked: Why not become the most sustainable solar company in the world?
That question began the transformation into SustainaSun — a movement to make solar energy affordable for everyone, installable anywhere, and genuinely beneficial to both the planet and society.
