Sustainabillty - Technical Feasibility: How Doing the Right Thing Makes Gents

摘要

If your company is not positioning itself to be aggressive in reducing operating costs, you will be less competitive and left behind. There are two major facets of the sustainability topic: Where we've been and where we're going. There's nothing to be done about what created today's state of environmental conditions - other than to recognize the problems and note what not to do. As for the present, it's always a discussion about the past or the future. There is a plethora of information available to help managers make the right decision. And, while a move toward a more sustainable way of doing business might be the right thing to do - like installing solar panels on the building roof to generate renewable energy - the question looms: Is it feasible? Or, should it make sense only if it makes cents? And, the future? The future looks bright ahead. Some companies have been ahead of this sustainability curve for more than 30 years. Others have seen the (fluorescent) light only recendy. Others are still in the dark.
