Conclusion:
Finally, to look back at some of the important things discussed. Sustainability is looking at
business and life from a holistic viewpoint, and not doing anything to put future generations, or
ourselves, at a disadvantage. Doing things this way can have real benefits to businesses and to
life in general. Many businesses are already doing this and it is having a big impact, hopefully all
manufacturers will have this mindset in the future.
