Sustainability and Integral Ecology in Business and Law - Lima Conference 2025
The "Sustainability and Integral Ecology in Business and Law" conference will take place at the University of Piura in Lima, Peru on July 1-2, 2025.
In honor of the 10th anniversary of Pope Francis’s ecological encyclical Laudato Si': On Care for the Common Home, we wish to study the implications of “integral ecology” on business and law. This encyclical introduced the term "integral ecology" into official Catholic social teaching, calling for an awareness of the interconnectedness between humans and nature.
Based on the belief in the Creator, integral ecology appeals to our sense of ecological justice and spirituality regarding creation beyond the duty to exercise stewardship for nature. Catholic social thought uses the term “integral ecology” for sustainability. Integral ecology includes the human ecology of faith, family, and the poor. Further, it defines our relationship and commitment to nature in business and law.
