Series I: Terminology and Methodology An Introduction to Approaches and Key Frameworks

Definition: Strategic Management The function of planning, organizing, implementing, controlling and evaluating long-term decision making for an organization Purpose Devised into a policy to create the vision, mission, objectives and goals Tactics are then devised to meet goals Creates the culture Evaluates and considers external environment

What is Sustainability? In business = longevity Sustainable development = satisfying the needs in the present without compromising the needs of future generations Sustainability management = a profitable organization that strategically manages resources, both human and natural both internally and externally

Triple Bottom Line: Holistic Management

The Journey Sustainability Environmental Management Ethics and Social Responsibility Governance Economic Responsibility

Benefits Reduce costs by reducing consumption Increase revenues through innovation Proactive engages compliance Opens new markets Retention of talented employees Protect brand image and public relations Improve quality of life for stakeholders Transform systems to respond to trends

Risks of Lagging Risk management for pollutants Obsolescent raw materials or increased expenses to operate as status quo Attacks on brand image Legal risks Closed out of markets or loss of contracts Reduced profits Poor employee retention or recruitment Delayed adaptation to change

Risk Management Risk = Hazard X Exposure The more hazards, the higher the risks. Fees and fines, public outcry, an attack on your brand image, or being closed out of markets Risks can be controllable or uncontrollable. Eliminating hazards will reduce risk and exposure.

Terminology and Frameworks The language of sustainability management

Social Responsibility People (internal and external)

ISO Social Responsibility International Standards Organization – wide group of collaborators to design guidelines - not a certification Major principles: 1.Accountability 2.Transparency 3.Ethics 4.Respect for stakeholder interests 5.Respect for rule of law 6.Respect for international norms or behavior 7.Respect for human rights

Guidelines on Social Responsibility Governance - going above compliance in host country as well as headquarters Human Rights 1.Due Diligence to prevent atrocities 2.Risk Situations- political instability, poverty, child labor, corruption 3.Complicity = illegal or wrongful acts 4.Proper grievance channel 5.Discrimination policies 6.Civil and political rights respected 7.Right to work

Guidelines Continued Labor Practices – conditions, safety, training Environmental Practices – Pollution prevention Resource usage Climate change mitigation and adaptation Protection of environment and biodiversity Consumers – fair practices, quality, health and safety Community involvement and development

Environmental Responsibility Planet

Closed Loop Management Cradle to Cradle vs. Cradle to Grave Changes conventional product and business life cycles from linear to circular. Circular life cycles mean that businesses behave as a living system. A living system rejuvenates, recycles, and reuses all nutrients in an ongoing cycle. Waste becomes food for new growth. Changes conventional product and business life cycles from linear to circular. Circular life cycles mean that businesses behave as a living system. A living system rejuvenates, recycles, and reuses all nutrients in an ongoing cycle. Waste becomes food for new growth.

The Living System Regenerates – Reuse Decay – Reduce Nutrients – Recycle Vs. Linear flows extract, produce, sell, use, and discard

The 6 R’s of Closed Loop Management Reimagine the current process Redesign the process using alternative solutions Reduce inputs to control outputs Reuse everything to end of life Rot any organic waste to compost or feed for animals Recycle as a last resort

Life Cycle Assessment (ISO series) Measures the environmental impact of a products or service from extraction to end of life Carbon footprinting of a product or process Methodology to understand current state to redesign future state

Bringing it All Together

Life Cycle Costing Comparative analyses tool that evaluates the cost of a product over its lifetime Goes further than ABC - activity based cost Procurement tool to control inputs/outputs of raw materials Longevity Durability Volatile organic compounds, toxins Locally sourced and retailed

Engineering Approaches Sustainable Manufacturing

Sustainable Engineering Design for the Environment Innovation designed for the environment Sustainable Manufacturing Lean manufacturing with environmental stewardship Reduces water, energy, waste through design – usage – end of life No longer will design for recyclability but reusability

Product Design Strategies Product Design: Redesigning with the Whole Life Cycle in Mind: The Evolution of Product Design & Composition at Levi Strauss & Co. | Sustainable BrandsRedesigning with the Whole Life Cycle in Mind: The Evolution of Product Design & Composition at Levi Strauss & Co. | Sustainable Brands Design for Environment: reduce environmental impacts of a product in production and end use. Less material Less energy Different product altogether Less/eliminate chemicals Durability and longevity

Designing for disassembly Designing for end of life Easily disassembled or reused

Grey/Black List Grey list: countries phasing out chemicals Black list: chemicals not permitted at all Carcinogen – cancer Teratogen –birth defects Endocrine disruptor – mimics hormones Mutagen – mutates genetic code Bioaccumlative toxin – remains in body tissue Sony Playstation banned in EU due to cadmium (RoHS)

RoHS European Union’s Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive or RoHS Effective on July 1, 2006 Restricts the use of certain materials Lead Mercury Cadmium hexavalent chromium bromine-containing flame retardants: PBB (polybrominated biphenyls) PBDE (polybrominated diphenyl ethers) -- in electrical and electronic products.

Zero waste is defined as eliminating natural and human resource inefficiency Zero waste to landfill focuses on solid waste

Zero Waste The quality movement created Zero Defect Thus, Zero Waste Drives innovation and efficiency It does not mean zero by-products Find markets for your unused material “Zero Waste to Landfill” for solid waste Also focus on emissions/energy/air pollution waste reduction You paid for it, don’t waste it. Sell it.

Next Steps

Sustainability Management System Assess the current situation and re-imagine the future state Policy to establish expectations, communicate vision and strategy Creating a holistic policy designed on TBL Developing a culture of life cycle analysis Developing employees through education Building awareness Innovation and creating the future

Three Policies to Navigate Sustainability Management 1.A Sustainability Management System (SMS) explains the strategic priorities of the organization. An SMS focuses on the long-term picture and the values of the organization. 2.An Environmental Management System (EMS) focuses on addressing and improving specific work processes or activities that specifically impact the natural environment. 3.Environmental Preferable Purchasing (EPP) focuses on guiding decision- making on inputs—specifically conducting life cycle costing to evaluate procurement decisions.
