Adopting green Manufacturing practices

and achieving green targets require

long term commitment and sustained

effort on the part of businesses.

However, sustainability is non-

negotiable

Sustainability reporting by the

Corporate sector is today at a potential

inflection point. Whether it can fulfill its

role will depend on a variety of factors,

extrinsic and intrinsic to companies

Achieving the Carbon reduction goals is

a reward in itself apart from operational

efficiencies and enhanced sustainability

profile. It is undoubtedly the path to be

pursued resolutely.

Organizations need to ensure that their

energy efficiency programs are

managed holistically, with processes

established to enable visibility into

critical areas of operations.

Tomorrow’s mines will almost certainly

need to have fewer humans resulting in

greater efficiency, lower costs and

improved safety and environmental

performance.

The key to successful change

management is about inducing a

behavioral change among the people

involved

Manufacturing : The

Future is Green

The adoption of green manufacturing

practices has become foundational for

businesses in view of the rapid depletion

of natural resources and the impact on

the environment from the proliferation of

electronic waste.

It adds to the competitive advantage and positions

organizations to benefit from the market for low

carbon environmental goods and services

currently estimated at $5.2 Trillion and expected

to grow to more than $6.5 trillion by 2015

Green manufacturing is about using Green Energy,

developing Green Products and employing Green

Processes while reducing resource use and wastage.

These goals align well with the objective to improve

competitive advantage, making a compelling business

case for going Green.

Green Manufacturing

A dilemma for manufacturing companies adopting green

practices is that these are unlikely to generate profits in

the short term. But a trade-off for long-term gains is both

necessary and sustainable if the organization’s vision is

set firmly on the triple bottom line—people, planet, and

profits.

Sustainability is Non-negotiable Manufacturing organizations cannot side-step any longer, owing to the increased scrutiny on

their environmental performance as well as the pressing need to reduce resource use

Sustainability reporting can help with self-

reflection and continuous improvement; it

also allows for external scrutiny and this

combination provides a platform for

strategic actions and continuous

improvements.

Sustainability reporting on one hand, is not as

pervasive and widely accepted as financial

reporting, on the other hand, it has evolved to

occupy a distinct space of its own in the last

decade.

Making the Carbon

Commitments

Organizations across sectors have made

carbon reduction targets that vary from very

high to modest and have a mixed record on

achieving them. A look at how they can set

realistic but ambitious carbon targets to stay

competitive and sustainable.

Companies exhibit a mixed record on setting and

attaining carbon goals. Businesses that fail to

show a commitment to reduce emissions risk

being labeled as irresponsible.

Carbon Commitment Drivers

Given that efforts to go low carbon usually involve paying for some offsets, but the same targets

can cut down wasteful use of energy and push for new thought process in material and operational

efficiency.

1. Government Push for Carbon Reduction

2. Strategic Direction of The Industry

3. Develop an Environmentally Friendly Identity

4. Cost-efficiency

5. Increased Employee And Customer Satisfaction


Making the Carbon Commitments


Carbon reduction goals helps in the form of greater operational efficiencies and an enhanced

sustainability profile

It is advisable to set the long term aspiration but publish mid-term goals which can be revised as the

organization gains more experience on sustainability

Evaluating the business, regulatory and technological landscape and getting internal commitments is a

crucial step before setting their carbon targets

Companies are usually driven by investor and peer pressure, government and regulatory mandates in

setting their carbon targets

http://www.wipro.com/Documents/Wipro_WInsights_Carbon_Committments.pdf


Achieving Energy

Savings As energy supplies dwindle, organizations

are under pressure from various

stakeholders and governments to

improve energy efficiency, lower energy

costs, and reduce their carbon footprint

Energy efficiency programs deliver benefits, such

as better operating margins, and compliance

with regulatory goals; and intangible ones, such

as energy security, stock performance and

investor preference, lower costs across the

supply chain, and customer loyalty.

Energy's Synergy

Monitoring is the Key

Selecting the Right Strategy

• Any energy efficiency program is incomplete without adequate and

Regular monitoring and reporting.

• Continuous monitoring of the energy efficiency programs helps

establish patterns of energy.

• It takes care of asset performance, as well as challenge current

assumptions on performance and usage.

• An exhaustive analysis of the all the alternative approaches available

is necessary before implementing an energy savings plan.

• This requires a facility wide energy management review that calls for

analyzing the financial and energy consumption components in order

to frame the scope of the energy efficiency projects.


Achieving Energy Savings


Energy Management Platform:

Offers the modeling capability

Provides advanced analytics tools

Offer distributed monitoring and control

Helps analyze asset performance and detect faults

Offers event and service management to evaluate

downtime and variance in energy consumption

There is no one-point solution to reduce energy consumption

Organizations need to implement a set of tools and processes to gain the visibility and control

Energy efficiency programs are managed holistically, with processes established at the plant

level to enable visibility into critical areas of operations

Companies that go beyond the requirements stand to benefit from the policy incentives and

opportunities that will be available in a world of energy constraints

Insights into Achieving Energy Savings

Journey to the

Center Of The Earth

Driven primarily by large scale

industrialization, urbanization of emerging

economies and advances in consumer

technology, we are witnessing the biggest

boom in the global mining and energy

industry in the last 50 years.

The mining model that most companies operate

under has not seen a significant “step-change”

in the last 20 - 30 years. This has been partly

driven by a super cycle of profits and therefore

no real ‘compelling event’ to evolve.

Drivers for Change


Mining at greater depths

Leftover ore bodies : Lower grade

Newer deposits found in

more inhospitable conditions

Dearth of skilled

resources

Moving from supply

driven to demand driven

The problems identified are significant and simply doing the same things faster or

“scaling up” existing models and equipment will not work in tomorrow’s mine

Mining is increasingly becoming more difficult with traditional tools and execution

models. This is being driven by several factors:

http://www.wipro.com/Documents/Wipro_WInsights_Achieving_Energy_Saving.pdf


Journey to the Center Of The Earth


Change the Mindset of

Miners

Design a New Operating

Model

Standardise Where

Possible

Integrate and Gain a Full

View

Automate and Centralize

Control

Steps to consider when future proofing a Mining Company

The next few decades will witness increased global demand for almost all metals & put

pressure on miners to bring more capacity on line

Tomorrow's mines will need to have fewer humans resulting in greater efficiency, lower costs,

improved safety & environmental performance

Organizations would rely upon standardised, integrated and automated systems that can

manage remote sites

Change Management to

Build a Sustainable

Organization

It is difficult for organizations to avoid change as they strive to remain sustainable in an

ever-changing and competitive environment. Companies that have a system in place for

proactively responding to change will accelerate their competitive advantage

It has become a strategic imperative for

organizations to build in the ability to introduce

and sustain change. But change is more often

resisted than supported in organizations

because people rarely are given the chance to

understand the reason for the change.

Succesful Change Management


• Organizations and leaders need to chart a clear path and deliver results

• Organisation should offer clarity to the employees on the way they can contribute to success

• Support leaders to instill confidence, use a disciplined process to ensure effective use of change and communication resources

• Build a shared experience of the challenges and rewards of working together

• Identify and evaluate the attitudes of individual users and influential groups

• With effective communication Management can create strategies to overcome employee resistance to any change

Need for Strategic Focus

The key to successful change management is about inducing a

behavioral change among the people involved.
