Manufacturers committed to sustainability understand that the most substantial improvements in the environment are often produced by embedding sustainability principles into manufacturing processes.
Reducing risk to their company and controlling costs is essential to maintaining economic viability. Our work with manufacturers addresses all of these goals.
Because manufacturing involves the totality of the supply chain, from raw materials to distribution and logistics, each step of the process provides opportunities to mitigate environmental impact in areas such as energy, water, waste, transportation, and the built environment.
Manufacturing can also address questions of economic and social equity in the sourcing of materials, the care of employees, and concern for communities in which companies manufacture.
We help manufacturers identify opportunities in all of these areas, as well as cost savings and risk reduction. Our work spans very narrowly focused problem-solving projects to plant-wide sustainability assessments and strategies. Some of our services include:
- Carbon Footprint
- Energy Efficiency
- Water Conservation
- Waste Auditing, Reduction and Management
- Baseline Sustainability Assessments
- Strategic Planning for Sustainability
- Project Management
- Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Reporting
- Corporate Sustainability Reporting (ESG)
- Stakeholder Communications
- Dashboarding
- Employee Training
“The use of sustainable manufacturing processes in our facility gives us a clear competitive advantage in both controlling costs and reducing environmental impact.”
