Sustainability is increasingly becoming more important to consumers thereby making sustainable manufacturing the new priority for industrial manufacturers.

Quality and Sustainability are two critical aspects of business operations that are closely intertwined and can complement each other when integrated into an organization’s operations.

The fundamental shift is in moving from pure profit maximization to a new definition of growth—one that gives due weight to the health of society and the planet. This presentation aims to show how organizations can integrate sustainability with their existing quality systems and achieve increased efficiency and cost savings in the joint initiative.
