The United States Postal Service (USPS) seeks to improve on revenue and brand identity on its retail shipping packaging and product lines that generated $11 billion in sales in FY 2011. Shipping supplies that are not considered environmentally preferable are candidates for improvement. Improvements will consist of integration of sustainable aspects such as economic and social value, efficient use of energy and materials, recycled content, compostability or biodegradability, and non-toxicity into identified shipping packaging and products. Identified packaging and product lines will be certified by a third party eco–labeling program, and measured as environmentally preferable retail products for profitability, volume, weight, and greenhouse gas measurements.
It is being proposed that a product innovation team be formed for the purpose of using Six Sigma methodologies to determine importance, problems or opportunities, improvements, and sustainable gains necessary to foster gains and improvements in shipping supplies not considered environmentally preferable.
The E P&L is a pioneering tool to help businesses manage their relationship with the natural environment. All businesses rely on natural capital to deliver their products and services. However, as a result of their activities, businesses also impact the environment through their use of land and natural resources and their emissions to air, discharges to water and waste.
Kering developed the E P&L to help measure and understand its impact on natural capital across its supply chain, from raw materials to the delivery of products to customers.

There are many articles on the sustainability of the watchmaking, jewelery, lifestyle and luxury industry. Very often, they target large publicly traded groups and well-established iconic brands. Unfortunately, they forget that our industry is mainly made up of small and medium-sized businesses. And these SMEs face the same problems, but with clearly different means.
Today, H. Sturzenegger & Sons has created a specialized team of consultants and offers professional services in assessment, measurement, implementation and monitoring of sustainability policies to SMEs of all sizes and for each budget. Indeed, the protection of our planet is not the monopoly of large groups, nor of iconic brands, but it is the responsibility of all, including SMEs, employees, shareholders and everyone, in our daily life. Fewer speeches, but simple, precise and most effective actions.
Below you will find our own approach, in total compliance with the UN’s “17 ESG criteria” and the OECD’s “Sustainable Manufacturing Green Toolkit”.

Diaphragm wall: Construction and DesignUmer Farooq
Diaphragm walls are concrete or reinforced concrete walls constructed in slurry-supported, open trenches below existing ground.
Concrete is placed using the Tremie installation method or by installing pre-cast concrete panels (known as a pre-cast diaphragm wall). Diaphragm walls can be constructed to depths of 150 meters and to widths of 0.5 to 1.50 meters.
At DuPont Nutrition & Health, our approach to sustainability addresses our entire value chain. Life cycle assessments
of our ingredients have long given important insights into how our raw material sourcing and production activities
impact the environment.
More and more customers, employees and investors expect companies to behave sustainably, i.e. showing respect for people and the environment. By responding to the need for sustainable products and services the company creates a foundation for sustainable profits.
Showing respect for the environment means reducing the negative environmental impact of a company’s products and services throughout the entire product life-cycle; in production, in use and at the end of its life.
Showing respect for people means ensuring that production is performed under safe and decent conditions and that products and services are safe to use. Companies should behave ethically and demonstrate respect for human rights. Customers, employees, business partners and owners then have confidence in the company and its management.
This document provides an overview of how we contribute to sustainability, demonstrated by case studies from our operations and services, and a summary of performance.

How to Influence a Multitude of Industries and Markets: Next-level Applied Su...Sustainable Brands
BASF, the world's leading chemical company, operates according to the purpose "We create chemistry for a sustainable future." BASF, which celebrates its 150th year in 2015, pursues sustainable development as both a business imperative and the defining market driver for innovative chemistry solutions. From its development and application of evaluative methodologies like Eco-Efficiency Analysis, SEEBALANCE® and AgBAlanceTM to its industry-leading place on the Carbon Disclosure Index for 6 years running, sustainability measurement and transparency are central to BASF's enterprise. In September, BASF will announce its next major advancement in applied sustainability measurement -- a far-reaching endeavor likely to influence the many industries and markets BASF serves worldwide. Dirk Voeste, Vice President Sustainability Strategy, will provide a hot-off-the-press overview of this initiative, its findings and planned resultant actions.
2. P&G Defines Sustainability Broadly… Social Responsibility Environment al Responsibility Sustainability … better quality of life for everyone, now and for generations to come At P&G, we define sustainability broadly. It is about ensuring a better quality of life for everyone now and for generations to come. For us that broad definition encompasses both environmental and social responsibility. It’s not just about “green” products tied to a current consumer movement, but a systemic approach covering our total supply chain, from raw materials to manufacturing processes to the Consumer. We believe this more substantive approach is best. Sustainability is at the heart of P&G’s purpose and is explicit in our commitment to touch and improve lives now and for generations to come. And, importantly, sustainability efforts must be tied to the bottom line.

6. Leadership Commitment “ Sustainability is at the heart of P&G’s business model. We design our strategies and plans to ensure that the work we do makes a meaningful difference by bringing the power and scale of our brands to solve real problems facing the world.” Bob McDonald Chief Executive Officer
7. 2012 Strategies Strategy 1: Products Strategy 2: Operations Strategy 3: Social Responsibility Strategy 4: Employees Strategy 5: Stakeholders In 2007, P&G established five strategies for sustainability and set goals to be achieved by 2012. Please refer to www.pg.com/sustainability for more information on each strategy. Delight the consumer with sustainable innovations that improve the environmental profile of our products. Improve the environmental profile of P&G’s own operations. Improve children’s lives through P&G’s social responsibility programs. Engage and equip all P&Gers to build Sustainability thinking and practices into their everyday work. Shape the future by working transparently with our stakeholders to enable continued freedom to innovate in a responsible way.
8. Why does Supplier Sustainability Matter? P&G’s network of partners and suppliers is critical to our long-term success and in our purpose-inspired growth strategy to touch and improve more consumers’ lives, in more parts of the world, more completely. Consumers around the world rely on P&G brands for their superior performance and value. For that reason, we want agencies, suppliers and other business partners to participate with us in open innovation, and to help us improve competitive advantage and maintain standards of excellence for both companies. At P&G, successful partnerships require a respect for the environment and sustainability, and we seek those values in our agencies, suppliers and other business partners. In the area of social sustainability, we expect suppliers to comply with our Sustainability Guidelines for Supplier Relations (see http://www.pgsupplier.com/sustainability-guidelines for more details). High-risk suppliers (defined by country of operation or potential hazard) are audited periodically to ensure compliance. On the environmental front, we collaborate closely with suppliers across the entire supply chain. Suppliers are P&G’s key source of materials, packaging, systems, services and ideas for sustainable innovation products. We view suppliers as critical partners in improving the environmental sustainability of our end-to-end supply chain. We also learn from each other’s best practices as we navigate the emerging field of environmental sustainability together.
