1) Eliminating the Concept of Waste
  • We define waste as any cost that does not
    produce value to our customers
  • Not just materials and energy, but also
    processes
  • Reduce waste and then eliminate.
  • Redesign products to use less materials and to
    reuse materials.

2) Benign Emissions
  • Elimination of stacks and discharge points.
  • 83 of 272 air emissions stacks
  • 11 of 21 effluent discharge points
  • Prevent toxic substances from entering our
    factories in the first place
  • Eliminate dependence on materials from the
    earths crust

3) Renewable Energy
  • Long-term dependence on solely solar energy, i.e.
    substitution of fossil fuels.
  • Gas turbines or fuel cells as flexible platforms
  • First focus on energy efficiency, i.e. reducing
    consumption of electricity.

4) Closing the Loop
  • Close Loop Recycling - Cradle to Cradle
  • Natural, Organic Cycle - natural raw materials
    and compostable products
  • Technical Cycle - Giving man-made materials and
    organic molecules life after life

5) Resource Efficient Transportation
  • Avoid transportation, for example through video
    conferencing
  • Reduce transportation, for example through
    manufacturing closer to markets and better
    logistics
  • Switch to more efficient modes of transportation
  • Least within the control of the organization

6) Sensitivity Hookup
  • Closer relations
  • amongst ourselves to get all of us in alignment
  • with suppliers and customers to get all of us in
    alignment
  • Service to the community through involvement and
    investment
  • Increases the awareness of thousands and
    thousands of little things each of us can do to
    inch towards sustainability.

7) Redesign Commerce
  • Shifting from selling products to Selling
    Services
  • Prices reflect full costs
  • Tax Shiftingfrom income and capital to
    pollution, waste, emissions, etc.
