Organizations today are being challenged by customers, legislators and public opinion to consider the environmental implications of their strategic and tactical decisions. This is true regardless of whether an organization operates in the public or private sector and wether provides services or develops products.
The big trends and demands pushing government and industry to identify changes, develop solutions and adopt their operations and organizations include:
- Producer responsibility – extended producer responsibility (EPR) is common in Europe, being adopted in Canada, and being considered in the United States;
- Carbon reduction through product/service design and operations – whether it is carbon monitoring for improvements or cap and trade;
- Alternative energy and energy conservation; and
- Ongoing measurement and improvement of environment impact/footprint (EIF) across operations life cycle.
