Corporate drivers for the greening of manufacturing and distribution include regulation, increasing material and energy costs, waste stream management costs, green competition, investor focus, customer demands and product lifecycle management issues. Through a comprehensive business sustainability program, industrial and consumer products businesses can improve profitability (less energy, fewer materials, service-based products), improve competitive position (customer satisfaction, reputation, differentiation), manage risk (regulatory compliance, business interruption, shareholder action), and capitalize on market opportunities (supply chain partners, 3rd party certification, new product/service solutions).
