Every day we hear more and more about sustainability and sustainable development. For those of us in the operating and manufacturing business units, we frequently have to ask - what does this mean to us? Well, first of all, the triple bottom line refers to economic prosperity, social justice, and environmental quality. Fuzzy? I know... but ignore at your own peril.
There are lots of resources to learn more about how to integrate sustainability into your manufacturing strategic plans (operational excellence too...) Here are a few starters:
The International Organization for Standardization, ie ISO 14000 describes an environmental management system www.iso.org
The World Business Council for Sustainable Development offers information at www.wbcsd.org
The Business for Corporate Responsibility provides socially responsible business solutions at www.bsr.org
The global reporting initiative provides structure for corporate social responsibility at: www.globalreporting.org
Please be advised that effective 1 September 2007 Synchronous will transform our service offering to providing industry and operational excellence concepts and advice, but we will no longer provide on-site consultations or engage new clients. Current customers can continue to expect the same fully dedicated support and advice, but on limited hours of availability as we have already communicated to designated company contacts - usually the project manager. Thanks to all of our loyal and dedicated clients, who have allowed and honored us to be part of their transformation efforts...
