Sustainable consumption and production policies is a transformation method that takes
up comprehensive approach and it is the structure that is around three basic aims that are
below mention:
 Removing the link between environmental protection and economic economic
expansion. It's all about doing more with less, boosting net utility benefits from
commercial activity by lowering resource usage, degradation, and contamination
over the whole life cycle while improving quality of life. 'More' products and
activities are supplied with 'less' effect on resources consumption, ecological
deterioration, waste, and pollution.
 Applying life-cycle thinking: This is the object that is all about improving and
increasing the sustainable management of the resources which are using by the
company so that the organisation can become capable to achieve more resources
efficiency with the production as well as conduction faces of the life-cycle. This
kind of activity include more resources extractions and the production of the

intermediate imports as well as distribution and marketing and also include the
utilisation of the waste disposal and the use of the good services.
 Sizing more opportunity for the developing nations and vaulting: Sustainable
conception and production policies is the goal which is contribute towards the
poverty and achievement of the UN millennium development goals. For the
developing nations as well as for the international organisation it is very important
to focusing on the sustainable development goals because it provide more
opportunities for the organisation in order to create new market as well as more
decent jobs and generating more natural resources management so that they can
become capable to achieve their goals and contribute towards the sustainable
development goals. Apart from does it also helps them to use more efficient
resources in order to overcome the pollutions and contribute towards the
development of which are followed by the most developed nations.
It is very important for the tesco organisation to analyse that sustainable development goals
that is responsible consumption and production is very important because it helps them to
accomplish the economic growth and in order to improve their capabilities this is the number
double of men needed to reduce their ecological footprint by more defined the way they
produce and consume their product and services as well as their resources. This can support
with the food security as well as shift the company towards the more the sources efficient
economy. Apart from this it is also helps them to accomplish their goals and objectives and
create positive impact on the every stages of the product life-cycle so that the company can
overcome the barriers and improve their capabilities. There are different kinds of examples of
the concession data followed by the Tesco company. Conception is the form or approach that
can be described in different kind of minors but it is best described or defined as the final
buying of the product and services by the individual. The purchaser or the buying of a new
pair of shoes, a burger and a fast food restaurant or services like getting the house clean all
are the examples of the consumptions. So in order to maintain their effectiveness it is very
important for the company to focusing on the sustainable development goals. There are few
theories of consumption which are below mentioned:
Keynesian theory of consumption
According to the quantity theory, an economy's aggregate economic consumer
spending is a function of real economic output. The Keynesian Economic Model is what it's
called. The consumption spending of various people who purchase goods may be used to

calculate the economy's collective consumption. Keynes points out that real income has a
greater impact on the consumption than cash inflow. The worth of money and buying power
will fluctuate as the price level changes. Price fluctuations will have an impact on actual
income as well as the tendency to spend.
