Production
How can you build a responsible production?
There are many aspects to consider when ensuring a sustainable production. Energy consumption for example or use of chemicals and water usage are extremely high in many industries. We need to know whether our factories support human rights or violate them. We need to know to which extent we cause damage to the environment and its surroundings. Potentials for improvement can be found both in smart technologies as well as in strong supplier relations that can move both your suppliers and you as a company in the right direction.
