Sustainability is by no means a new concept in the field of manufacturing, and already in the late 80’s it was stated by industry pioneers that the potential manufacturing as an industry holds in enhancing the environmental results of their operations is notable. Possessing vast expertise and technical capabilities, the manufacturing companies have the opportunity to solve many of the ecological and social challenges we are facing today – and improve their own competitiveness at the same time.

In this blog post we are discussing the five reasons why the manufacturing companies should be considering higher sustainability adoption in their operations already today:


  1. Meet the Laws and Regulations of Today And Tomorrow – The increasing role of law and policy makers in accelerating sustainability adoption
  2. Answer the Changing Demand – Increasing market pull for more sustainable products and services
  3. Win Contracts – Sustainability affecting supplier selection
  4. Attract Talent – Sustainability as a cornerstone when deciding who to work for
  5. Build a Stellar Reputation with the Help of Sustainable Actions

If sustainability is adopted successfully and embedded in the company brand efficiently (and with evidence of concrete actions), it can have a positive impact on the company’s financial performance through increased demand toward the products and/or services of the company.
