Industry
Industry has been the primary agency for environmental pollution, consumption of resources, displacement of people, and related issues. Considered as the growth engine for any economy, it has also been the primary source of employment generation and improving the quality of life. The need is now to bring in smart innovations that mitigate the negative consequences in a sustainable manner.

This section captures the initiatives taken by Industry to bring a change in their business practices either by enhancing managerial capability or by introducing technological or market innovations.

We would be happy to hear from industry representatives in the know of such initiatives being run by their organizations, sharing of which on this platform might encourage their peers to follow similar sustainable practices in their respective businesses. Write to us at editor@thinktosustain.com.
