“Meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs.” Gro Harlem Brundtland, 1987
Sustainability is about balancing impacts on people, planet, and profit. It plays a big role in capital projects and it’s a priority in investment planning and cost leadership programs. In process improvement programs, environmental impact studies often show where to increase capacity. As environmental and cost benefits often go hand in hand, eco-efficiency is an increasingly important criterion in corporate decision-making. For example, measures designed to increase energy efficiency – as well as those intended to reduce emissions and waste – are fast becoming part of the DNA of many companies.
