UN Global Compact-Accenture CEO Study 2010 Electrification, the rise of mass production, globalization and the quality movement of the 70’s and 80’s were megatrends; Sustainability is an emerging megatrend. David Kubin, Daniel Esty, The Sustainability Imperative, HBR May 2010 In 2009, Corporate Responsibility Magazine reported that in the first nine years of its Best Corporate Citizens list, the 100 Best Sustainability companies have outperformed the Russell 1000 by 26%. There are many reasons why corporations have embarked on Sustainabilityjourneys. In the early days, the motivations were driven by doing good, doing the right thing. Sustainabilitywas managed as a separate activity. More recently, Sustainabilityhas begun to be integrated into daily operations and the focus has clearly shifted towards the impact on the brand, trust and reputation and towards revenue growth, cost and risk reductions, together with improved efficiencies.

Minimal Waste Zero Waste is an inspiring and achievable long term vision and closely resembles the TQM mantra of zero defects. It focuses on redesigning systems and process for a total product lifecycle. Waste represents costs, both to our shareholders and to our environment. The approach is an iterative one based on setting a set of goals and then educating, assessing, prioritizing, auditing, identifying potential actions, implementing, reporting and then repeating the process until the goal is achieved.
