Sustainable Industry
Dozier Material Handling, LLC has formed an alliance with GreenChoice to develop a Sustainable Industry program. We combine sustainability with lean manufacturing initiatives to target waste elimination, over consumption, and non-value added activities to achieve significant cost savings within industrial companies. We view a sustainable industry as one that can increase production capabilities while maintaining a high quality standards, consuming fewer resources, generating zero waste and creating a more healthy work environment.
The path to improvement begins with:
CREDIBILITY: To be effective, your strategy needs to be convincing. This means that it must be backed by facts and figures. You need a solid foundation of proof points. These proof points can be related to building performance, energy efficiency, worker productivity, waste reduction, manufacturing footprint reduction, or any number of other initiatives that fit into your business strategy.
RELEVANCE: It is important to develop strategies that are not only going to meet your immediate business objectives – sales and increasing revenue – but will also ensure that your efforts are sustainable from a business perspective. Have your sustainability initiatives reduced costs and boosted revenues by creating new markets, adding new products or services, and deepened customer loyalty? It is critical that a company figure out the difficult task of aligning its sustainability initiatives with its core business objectives and its growth trajectory. Your sustainability initiatives must be relevant to the end customer, the marketplace and your bottom line.
EFFECTIVE MESSAGING: Are you effectively communicating whatever environmental attributes you are promoting with all the other attributes customers expect for that product or service – quality, durability, price, performance, and style? Do your employees know and understand your sustainable initiatives; how these initiatives affect the bottom line, the community in which you do business, and the environment?
DIFFERENTIATION: Differentiation does not necessarily mean that you are doing more than everyone else. It is doing something that is distinct in signature, so that people can identify you and what you do as sustainable in a particular way.
