Sustainability and Analytics: Two Sides of the Same Coin
What do sustainability and analytics have in common? More than you might think. In my presentation I will explore how these two concepts are interlinked and how they can help businesses achieve better performance, innovation and resilience. I also share some examples of how companies are using sustainability and analytics to create positive impacts for themselves and the world. Whether you are a business leader, a data enthusiast or a sustainability advocate, you will find something valuable in this article.
Many companies see the need and are now seeing the business case and profit results for environmental and social sustainability programs and initiatives. A typical progression is for organizations to look at internal initiatives (i.e., energy efficiency), followed by downstream usage of products or services and reuse, recycling and disposal of products. For maximum beneficial impact, organizations need to leverage the supply base. However, not everyone has the power of Wal-mart, GE or IBM to require suppliers to engage. This presentation is an overview of a practical roadmap for extension of sustainability programs upstream to suppliers that companies of various size and status can follow to make progress and move up the curve toward supply chain sustainability.

A few decades ago, organizations were turning a blind eye to the environmental repercussions of integrating sustainability policies that were growing in vigor due to capitalism. But the scenario is now changing. Sustainable business practices are finding their way into corporate obligation, and businesses are taking sincere initiatives to measure and minimize environmentally unfriendly operations. A KPMG study highlighted that sustainability reporting in G250 companies is growing - from 64% in 2005 to 96% in 2020.

For the first time, CDP and Accenture have analyzed this data at the national level to assess the relative climate risk faced by supply chains in 11 key markets, the preparedness of these supply chains to manage these risks and the propensity of suppliers to work with their customers to reduce risk and seize climate opportunities. This year’s supply chain program involved 66 corporations with $1.3 trillion in procurement spend. They requested that their suppliers disclose information on how they are approaching climate and water risks and opportunities, generating the largest ever set of such data, from 3,396 companies worldwide, up from 2,868 in 2013.

The importance of sustainability is increasing, and so is the group of investigators researching it. This phenomenon motivates the authors to conduct a survey study that yields environmental sustainability results. The purpose of this paper is to describe the research and future, define literature categorization, and research focuses on environmental sustainability engineering research from the point of view of historical analysis using the highest impact factor journals in the Institute of Scientific Informations Journal Citation Study. The process for classifying research publications is based on the time horizon. Water research and pollution control and prevention rank first and second, respectively, in terms of research focus on sustainability. Furthermore, over the years, the Journal of Environmental Science and Technology has emerged as the journal with the most published sustainability research. The implications of our studys findings aid in the direction of future research in the field of sustainability.

The traditional view has been that addressing environmental issues poses a dilemma for managers: either help the environment at the expense of business or harm the business while protecting the environment. However, a new perspective suggests a reconciliation of environmental and economic concerns. In this approach, being environmentally friendly is not just a cost of doing business but a driver of innovation, new market opportunities, and wealth creation.

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

prioritizing
sustainability
Since there are no measurements to
sustainability in place today—and the
value to delivering continues to go

is no incentive for procurement to
