In this program we will examine how waste, water, energy, emissions and greenhouse gas environmental footprints are the basis for comparative advantage in Sustainability, Corporate Social Responsibility and Socially Responsible Investment reports today.
We will introduce the concepts of ecological and environmental footprint, discuss the approaches used by “best practice’ companies, examine Enviro-Stewards 5-step system to environmental footprint assessment and explore continuous improvement to meet footprint and overhead cost reductions. Learn about achieving sustainable operations through the evolving concepts of industrial metabolism, materials flow and substitution, input-output analysis, life cycle assessment and industrial symbiosis.
