• Social Policies, e.g. wage, child labor
• Conflict minerals• Fair trade sources
• Reduction Scope I,II,III Emissions• Waste reduction• Reduction water usage
• Sustainable procurement
• Sustainable Branding• Optimizing operations
Sustainability Analysis for a ManufacturerImproving the profit and sustainability of products and services
Lowering energy use and carbon footprint per unit of production in each of these components will increase profitability

Strategic SustainabilityMeeting the need to meet the “Triple Bottom Line”
• Triple Bottom Line: People, Planet, Profits• Organizations driving sustainability in supply chains:
– Unilever: Double size while reducing environmental impacts through sustainable, profitable, volume growth
– Wal-Mart: Reduce 20 million metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions from its global supply chain by 2015
• Example of metrics being developed regional and globally:– The Greenhouse Gas Protocol Initiative
http://www.ghgprotocol.org/standards/product-and-supply-chain-standard
– Eco Index (product life cycle for outdoor equipment)http://www.ecoindexbeta.org/
• ISTC approach: focus on enhancing sustainability AND profitability– Reduce both the carbon footprint (i.e. CO2 footprint) AND the production
cost of the delivered product
