Aboca: an example of European Green Deal thinking applied to health
With the “Green Deal”, Europe puts sustainability at the heart of its scientific, cultural and economic development. This is not just an abstract idea, but a concrete opportunity to promote a new economic and social system that reverses the effects of the current extractive model of development, a model which is reliant on the destruction of environmental resources and the use of substances that are not part of the ecosystem. The Green Deal is a vital opportunity - the only route available - which should also be applied in the health and therapy sector. It is a vision that Aboca has been pursuing ever since it was founded.
