Posing a Few Questions…..
Are the costs and benefits of “sustainable” manufacturing shared equally?
How will manufacturers be encouraged to not take a “wait and see” approach?

Sustainability – Broad Definitions
“meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs.”
Basis for merging of environmental, societal, and economic concerns and advocates that only by continually improving performance in all 3 will the future of companies, nations, and the environment be secure.
MEP Focus- Sustainability is a key MEP growth strategy to improve US
Manufacturing Competitiveness - Focus is to accelerate and differentiate our deployment of
growth to the Manufacturing Sector.

Simply Put…. Supply and Demand As energy prices rise and consumers demand environmentally
friendly products, companies are finding that being green is not only socially responsible, but simply good business.
Companies that commit to implementing eco-friendly changes find themselves with lower operating costs, access to new markets, and, as a result, a more profitable enterprise.

Challenge
Industry lacks many of the strategic and operational decision tools necessary to guide corporate investment, product design, process improvements, and the many other steps on the path to achieving sustainability.
Change the Paradigm- Current - Sustainability is a cost and a regulatory requirement- Future – Sustainability is a growth path towards new markets,
new products and a journey of cost reductions

In Closing…..
Are the costs and benefits of “sustainable” manufacturing shared equally?- There are two sides to this equation:
- Expense – Cost of Doing Business or OpportunityExpense – Cost of Doing Business or Opportunity- Revenue – Current and Future Growth StrategyRevenue – Current and Future Growth Strategy
How will manufacturers be encouraged to not take a “wait and see” approach?- That is the goal of our program in partnership with others!
