Six Solutions for Sustainable Business

Companies that prosper in the future will be more sustainable, with new products and processes. This seminar was designed to provide an answer to three questions. “What does being sustainable mean?” “Why does it matter?” “What must we do to become sustainable?” At the end of the day, people participating will:

* have a high level view of our natural environment, and its challenges that involve business;
* recognize many of the different tools and techniques that can be used, with examples;
* have a start in developing a company specific strategy, business case, plan, and responsibilities.

The seminar is organized around six topical solutions. They are: Design for environment, Energy transition, Quality improvement, Supply chain initiatives, Product transition, and Triple bottom line. Each solution involves several functional groups. While designed around manufacturing operations, this seminar will benefit people in all industries and functions, and sending a cross functional team will provide additional synergy.
