Environmental Sustainability and Industries by Pardeep Singh,Joao Paulo Bassin,Sanchayita Rajkhowa,Chaudhery Mustansar Hussain,Ramesh Oraon Pdf

Environmental Sustainability and Industries identifies and discusses critical areas related to environmentally conscious industrial development of products and services that may support more sustainable and equitable societies. This book addresses pollution prevention by referring to the use of processes, practices, and materials that reduce or eliminate the generation of pollutants at the source of production, more efficient use of raw materials, energy, water or other resources, or by conserving natural resources by maintaining clean production. It explains industrial energy efficiency as the most cost-effective use of energy in manufacturing processes, reducing its wastage as well as the total consumption of primary energy resources. Life cycle assessment is used as an analytical method to quantify environmental impacts, focusing on environmental considerations concerning process design and optimization, and including various sustainable manufacturing parameters in the context of industrial processes and proposes a classification of identified parameters to evaluate and optimize the manufacturing performances. The book also dives into industrial ecology, investigating how, where, and why environmental improvements can be made to develop a sustainable industry, meeting the needs of current generations without sacrificing the needs of the future ones. This book analyzes a company's environmental, social, and economic performance and their interrelationships, emphasizing the importance of identifying and understanding causal relationships between alternative approaches to action and their impact on financial and nonfinancial performance. It concludes with a view on the future of sustainable industrial systems stressing change as a joint effort of scientists, governments, people in business, and academicians. Offers compiled information on the environmental sustainability for industry Provides principles and advanced trends and approaches for environmental sustainability for the industrial sector Discusses established and emerging technologies and processes for sustainable approaches for industry Presents the development in the use of the assessment models as a tool to support the research and applications of different sustainable technologies and processes

Enhancing Global Competitiveness Through Sustainable Environmental Stewardship by Subhash C. Jain,Ben L. Kedia Pdf

It is apparent that environmental issues affect the livelihoods and well being of individuals, communities and businesses the world over. In that vein, this book examines the impact that climate change and other environmental factors have on business. The effect of climate change, while a significant factor, will influence business slowly, but inexorably. Executives should manage environmental risk at three levels: regulatory compliance, potential liability from industrial accidents, and pollutant release mitigation.Companies that are proactive in mitigating their exposure to climate-change risks will not only generate new profitable opportunities, but also gain competitive advantage over their rivals in a carbon-constrained future. Enhancing Global Competitiveness through Sustainable Environmental Stewardship provides frameworks for identifying how climate change might affect a business, and suggests strategy guidelines to manage the risks and seek opportunities.This seminal collection of research will be of particular interest to students and scholars of sustainability studies, business and management, and business professionals concerned with the role they will play in the changing and challenging times that lie ahead for business growth and environmental consciousness.

Environmental sustainability as a contemporary challenge and its impacts on the marketing by David Onditi Pdf

Essay from the year 2020 in the subject Economy - Environment economics, grade: A, University of Wisconsin-Madison, language: English, abstract: This essay deals with the impacts of the economical growth on the market and the marketing. The focus lies on environmental sustainability. The economic growth in the last 2 decades has led to the lifting of over 660 million people from poverty but have also led to the raisin of the levels of incomes of millions. However, such developments at the expense of environmental sustainability has come at the expense of the poor communities and the environment. Despite the growth patterns recorded in the last couple of decades, environmental sustainability has in the recent years become a contemporary challenge as billions of people still lack access to services such as electricity, access to clean water and are malnourished. Top executives of companies have started to deal with unique and complex environmental challenges. The majority of the executives are still hesitant to adopt sustainable strategies to the core of the operations of the firms including in marketing due to the belief that the costs are higher than the benefits. Such beliefs are contrary to the academic research and the bottom line benefits of sustainable marketing practices. Environmental sustainability as a contemporary challenge that has a number of influence on the marketing practices, markets and consumers amongst others. Environmental sustainability has had significant impacts on the consumers in a number of ways. The research indicates that B2B and B2C clients have increasingly adopted a sustainable view where sustainability of the company is used by the consumers in the consumer purchase behavior. In the recent years, the consumers have become increasingly interested in environmentally friendly alternatives thus creating markets for the sustainability. The consumer expectation has led to the push for the businesses to develop the sustainable products.

Cents and Sustainability by Michael H. Smith,Karlson 'Charlie' Hargroves,Cheryl Desha Pdf

Cents and Sustainability is a clear-sighted response to the 1987 call by Dr Gro Brundtland in Our Common Future to achieve a new era of economic growth that is 'forceful and at the same time socially and environmentally sustainable'. The Brundtland Report argued that not only was it achievable, but that it was an urgent imperative in order to achieve a transition to sustainable development while significantly reducing poverty and driving 'clean and green' investment. With some still arguing for significantly slowing economic growth in order to reduce pressures on the environment, this new book, Cents and Sustainability, shows that it is possible to reconcile the need for economic growth and environmental sustainability through a strategy to decouple economic growth from environmental pressures, combined with a renewed commitment to achieve significant environmental restoration and poverty reduction. Beginning with a brief overview of some of the most pressing environmental challenges of our time, the book then explains 'decoupling theory', overviews a number of factors that can undermine and even block efforts to decouple in both developed and developing countries, and then discusses a number of key considerations to assist the development of national 'decoupling strategies'. The book then focuses on presenting evidence to support greater action, not just on climate change, but also on decoupling economic growth from the loss of biodiversity and the deterioration of natural systems, freshwater extraction, waste production, and air pollution. In the lead up to the 2012 United Nations Earth Summit and beyond, Cents and Sustainability will be a crucial guide to inform and assist nations to develop strategies to significantly reduce environmental pressures, strengthen their economy, create jobs and reduce poverty. 'I commend the team from The Natural Edge Project and their partners for undertaking to develop a response to 'Our Common Future' to mark its 20th anniversary.' Dr Gro Brundtland.

Extractive Industries and Sustainable Development by Andrés Liebenthal,Roland Michelitsch,Ethel I. Tarazona Pdf

The World Bank Group (WBG) has the potential to improve the contribution of extractive industries (EI) to sustainable development and poverty reduction. However, this report by the WBG's operations evaluation departments finds that although its EI projects have produced positive economic and financial results, it has not been successful in ensuring compliance to environmental and social safeguards. The paper examines the World Bank, the International Finance Corporation and Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency, to assess their performance in moving away from a focus on economic benefits towards sustainable development, addressing the governance challenges associated with resource-rich countries, and mitigating environmental and social costs of the extractive industry.

Taking Stock of Industrial Ecology by Roland Clift,Angela Druckman Pdf

How can we design more sustainable industrial and urban systems that reduce environmental impacts while supporting a high quality of life for everyone? What progress has been made towards reducing resource use and waste, and what are the prospects for more resilient, material-efficient economies? What are the environmental and social impacts of global supply chains and how can they be measured and improved? Such questions are at the heart of the emerging discipline of industrial ecology, covered in Taking Stock of Industrial Ecology. Leading authors, researchers and practitioners review how far industrial ecology has developed and current issues and concerns, with illustrations of what the industrial ecology paradigm has achieved in public policy, corporate strategy and industrial practice. It provides an introduction for students coming to industrial ecology and for professionals who wish to understand what industrial ecology can offer, a reference for researchers and practitioners and a source of case studies for teachers.
