Coming to Grips with Sustainability
One of the biggest shifts in the manufacturing industry in recent years
is the growing focus on sustainability. What started as a concern
amongst a relatively small group has gathered force to become a key
mainstream issue. However, a rise of cynicism around ‘green washing’
within the consumer and business worlds alike means companies can no
longer get away with claiming sustainable credentials for token efforts
in only one area of their business. Instead, environmental
considerations have spread from a focus on consumer-facing products to
encompass all aspects of a manufacturer’s operations, requiring them to
implement a robust, long-term strategy across their entire supply chain.
