Sustainability
Sustainable Manufacturing
A large and growing number of manufacturers are realizing substantial financial
and environmental benefits from sustainable business practices.
Sustainable manufacturing is the creation of manufactured products through
economically-sound processes that minimize negative environmental impacts
while conserving energy and natural resources. Sustainable manufacturing also
enhances employee, community and product safety.
The Business Case for Sustainable Manufacturing
A growing number of companies are treating "sustainability" as an important
objective in their strategy and operations to increase growth and global
competitiveness. This trend has reached well beyond the small niche of those
who traditionally positioned themselves as "green," and now includes many
prominent businesses across many different industry sectors. In many cases,
these efforts are having significant results.
There are a number of reasons why companies are pursuing sustainability:
 Increase operational efficiency by reducing costs and waste
 Respond to or reach new customers and increase competitive advantage
 Protect and strengthen brand and reputation and build public trust
 Build long-term business viability and success
 Respond to regulatory constraints and opportunities
Companies engaged in sustainability efforts include those of all sizes, ages and
sectors. Companies move forward along the path to sustainability by improving
performance and reducing their resource footprint. Ways that companies
progress further on the path to sustainability include:
 Address sustainability in a coordinated, integrated and formal manner, rather than
in an ad hoc, unconnected and informal manner
 Focus on increased competitiveness and revenues rather than primarily focusing
on cost-cutting, risk reduction and improved efficiency
 Use innovation, scenario planning and strategic analysis to go beyond compliance
 Integrate sustainability across business functions
 Focus more on the long term
 Work collaboratively with external stakeholders
Key Benefits from Sustainable Manufacturing
 Lower Resource and Production Costs
 Lower Regulatory Compliance Costs
 Improved Sales and Brand Recognition
 Greater Access to Financing and Capital
 Easier Employee Hiring and Retention
