This article by Tessa, which was featured on Accounting Web, focuses on how to enhance sustainability in finance using the Lean Way principles, part one is on overproduction: how to avoid waste.
Here is an excerpt from the introduction of the article:
“More and more businesses are waking up to the fact that customers want sustainable products from sustainable companies. According to the Nielsen report, this includes everything from labour practices to the environmental impact of production.
So, what can the average company do to enhance their own sustainability? And why bother?
My company works with companies across the globe to embed lean processes and systems into their core, with an emphasis on improvements within finance teams.
We have noticed that a by-product of these projects is the improved sustainability of the company as a whole. Although sustainability has strong connotations with environmental performance, we believe it’s important to acknowledge the inclusion of the full triple-bottom-line; people, planet, profit.”
