Sustainability: From the Boardroom to the Breakroom |
Publish date:
With a CEO-led vision of becoming more environmentally responsible, many consumer products companies have started to realize that manufacturing and distribution operations represent a major opportunity to achieve substantial gains in sustainability and improved financial performance.
The 2007 Grocery Manufacturers Associations (GMA)/Deloitte Consulting Study, “ Sustainability: Balancing Opportunity and Risk in the Consumer Products Industry,” indicated that companies were aggressively undertaking sustainability initiatives. Unfortunately, plant operations was one area largely ignored by these sustainability initiatives. To help companies address these operational implications, the GMA partnered with Deloitte Consulting, the Packaging Machinery Manufacturers Institute (PMMI) and Hartness International to create: “ Sustainability: From Boardroom to Breakroom.”
This report is intended to address frequently asked questions and provide a “road map” to help avoid “unintended consequences” associated with plant operations. It explores what consumer products companies are doing to make their manufacturing and distribution operations environmentally sustainable. In addition, it offers practical ways to achieve cost-effective sustainability goals in the short and long term.
