Adoption of green manufacturing practices is increasing rapidly in our country and companies that have been the front runners are reaping the benefits. The adverse impact that industrialisation has had on the environment has compelled companies to look at sustainable growth, that?s the triple bottom line (economic, environment and society).
Companies are not only contributing to the environment and society by adopting green manufacturing practices but have also reaped business benefits out of this initiative.
Frost & Sullivan is engaged in assisting companies in their journey towards adoption of green manufacturing practices through its Green Manufacturing Excellence
Awards platform and consulting support. Some of the important parameters that highlight the performance of companies in green manufacturing practices are energy efficiency and conservation, water and waste management, emission control, material conservation and recycling, impact on bio-diversity and society, occupational health and safety, and a green supply chain. This article is a compilation of the best practices on these parameters followed by few of the Indian companies that have been the front runners in adoption of green manufacturing practices.
