Description
The PPT describing about a part of the environmental management course.
Green and Competitive
Environmental Concerns Amongst Business Houses
? Trade off between ecology and economy
? Erodes competitiveness ? Static view - Everything except regulation is held constant
Environmental corporate responsibility among business houses
? Reduce Pollution ? Reduce Resource inefficiency
? Incomplete material utilisation ? Hidden costs of packaging discarded
? Pollution prevention rather than control ? Follow regulations rather than fight them
Environmental Avenues and Provisions and business houses
Avenues ? Innovation and resource productivity Two ways to innovate a)New Technologies and processes that minimize the cost of dealing with pollution once it occurs b)New Technologies and processes that reduces pollution emission
Initiatives
Sector/Industry Environmental Issues
Dioxin released by bleaching with chlorine
Innovative Solutions
Innovative Offsets
?Lower operating costs ?25% initial price premium for chlorine - free paper ?Better energy efficiency at same cost ?5-10% price premium for “green” refrigerator ?Twice as efficient at same cost ?Higher energy efficiency
Pulp & Paper
?Improved Cooking & Washing processes ?Elimination of chlorine by using oxygen, peroxide etc for bleaching ?Alternative refrigerants ?Thicker insulation ?Better Gaskets ?Improved Compressors
Refrigerators
?Chlorofluorocarbon used as rerefrigerants ?Energy Usage ?Disposal
Dry Cell Batteries
Lead, nickel, ?Rechargeable Cadmium etc.released batteries of nickelin landfills or to air hydride. ?Rechargeable Lithium batteries
Environmental Compliance: Problems & Obstacles faced by Business Houses
? Regulators tend to set regulations in a way that deter innovations Ex – The Pulp paper Regulation ( U.S and Scandinavia) ? Reduces competitiveness if not followed in all countries. ? High costs of failures
Environmental prospects: Dilemma of Business Houses
