Sustainability

One way to get started is to form a sustainability team and try to define some sustainability goals. They can include things like % of materials from sustainable vendors and reduction of hazardous chemicals on the product side, and office initiatives like paper reduction and promoting hybrid meetings or providing public transportation to reduce the carbon footprint and traffic congestion

As they say, what gets measured gets done so creating SMART goals can help ensure sustainability is part of the plan rather than merely good will and wishful thinking.

Sustainability often costs more so one strategy at the corporate level may be partnering with suppliers, vendors, and regulators to explore future technologies as part of projects or even as projects in themselves. That not only helps with cost sharing but also aligning priorities across the value stream.
