Green Factory 2025

“Viable Green is Sustainable”

The Green Factory Initiative initiative aims to synchronize excellence initiatives with resource conservation and sustainable practices while subtly facilitating the adoption of risk prioritization and mitigation activities. It emphasizes financial sustainability as the only viable approach.

The initiative encompasses focusing on various aspects of environmental stewardship and facility-related social responsibility. These stages involve criteria such as green awareness, carbon footprint assessment, communication and reporting, energy efficiency, waste management, and more.

Recognition categories range from Silver to Green ICON for top scores. These categories are determined based on the organization's performance in green operations, supply chain management, product sustainability, and adherence to responsible manufacturing practices.

In essence, the Green Factory Initiative strives to promote responsible manufacturing practices that align with environmental sustainability and related social responsibility, ultimately contributing to a more sustainable and resilient manufacturing sector.
