Operations-driven sustainability
McKinsey & Company
For business leaders already facing a difficult journey into the post-COVID next normal, sustainability and profitability can look like conflicting goals. Large-scale investments in renewable energy, advanced manufacturing technologies, or alternative materials may appear harder to justify in an environment when many organisations are re-examining their costs, product portfolios, and capital plans.
Sustainability doesn’t have to come with a hefty price tag. When companies optimise their operations - whether to increase productivity, improve quality, or reduce cost - better environmental performance can be a by-product. Efficient manufacturing processes and supply chains don’t just cost less to run, they also consume less energy, use fewer resources, and produce less waste.
Today, many of the world’s largest businesses are learning how to maximise these synergies between operational excellence and environmental benefit, designing and executing improvement initiatives to address both cost and sustainability goals simultaneously. This article provides examples to illustrate the potential.
