Abstract

The industrial sector, which has been criticised as a major source of pollution and environmental degradation, is now moving towards facing the challenges to cope with pressures from society. Manufacturers and their internal stakeholders have realised that considering cost, quality and productivity only is no longer sufficient to maintain their competitiveness. Customers nowadays are more intensively concerned about green products and environmentally friendly production. There is shortage of natural resources and costs are increasing, while in the labour market workers need safe and secure workplaces for their health and well-being. Government regulations and the requirements of business practices are also stricter. Faced with these pressures, manufacturers have been driven to take environmental and social issues seriously in order to ensure their licences to operate in the long run. This leads to the topic of sustainability, which has been widely considered by modern industrialised societies and academics. As the world is moving towards meeting the demands of sustainability, this chapter provides an understanding of and guidelines for how a manufacturing company can develop and evaluate its sustainability in a practical manner.
