Sustainability is the holistic approach for providing direction and magnitude of growth. Hence we need practical indicators for benchmarking and evaluation. Otherwise we get lost.Among others, the LCA based Ecocosts and the Ecocosts value ratio have proven track records in providing the needed guidance in Europe and beyond.
We believe mainstream companies and governments adopting new technologies and practises will account for the lion share of the transfer from today fossil carbon linear economy to the sustainable society of tomorrow. Providing a safe and secure place and a fair wage to people are integrated aspects of sustainable growth.
Businesses can only make a step forwards on green growth when long term fitness is more important than sheer quarterly profits. There is for a bright future no other option for businesses than to add value to their products and services at a progressively reduced ecological impact and resource intensity.
Our experience is that progress on sustainability can be achieved when making thoughtful decisions on R&D, design, production, marketing, sales and procurement for future products and services portfolio and track progress with metrics across the life cycle. Integrate the practice in the management system (ISO 14001) and put the money where the future is!
We drive your safety and quality performance improvement through mobilizing awareness by interventions and interim management while focusing on the critical items. The creation of urgency, conduct of performance based audits, developing process safety indicators and making company culture change last is grounded in a long experience track record in leading edge high risk industries.
We believe that by the end of the day everyone has the right to return home healthy an safely. This requires safety leadership to make everyone permanently aware of its responsibilities and need for interaction. Extend and conditions of processes and technical safety measures are an integrated part of a safe workplace. Embed this in the safety management systems
The bottom line is that each individual should be aware of unsafe situations at the workplace or production processes and has developed the ability and skills to act and communicate about it. Whether office or shop floor based. Not every risk can be foreseen with respect to its genesis and impact. However, a resilient organizational system can adjust to changes and can return to a safe state after disturbances.
