FIVE's 'Sustainable Indulgence' Ethos is all about breaking beyond the mold and pursuing an innovative, not restrictive, approach. The fact is, sustainable development requires the buy in of the whole world, not just the stereotypical spaces and interpretations; it has to be backed by science but adapt to meet all varieties of stakeholders and industry spaces. Planes are not disappearing nor is luxury. Rather the types of questions FIVE pursues is how we can take these spaces and products and deliver them in a cleaner, more efficient and climateforward way while maintaining and even enhancing their quality and luxury. Sustainability must not result in a world of reduced quality and consumer optionality - the fundamental raison d'etre of Sustainable Development is that it exists, and is in fact the only way, to unlock an even greater level of experience and development potential in our world. In this way, FIVE embraces luxury and flight within its Sustainability ethos, and will continue to approach its products with a collaborative, iterative and innovative mindset, not one of cynicism and restriction.
