Allison Meyers: 我代表输送分拣解决方案集团,我们公司非常重视可持续发展,并开展了全公司范围的竞赛,鼓励员工提出各种创意来改善环境和企业公民行为。我们不仅在公司内部实施可持续发展措施,例如减少能源消耗,还在为客户提供的自动化解决方案中融入可持续发展的理念,帮助他们实现自身的可持续发展目标。我们与客户携手合作,共同努力实现可持续发展目标,并通过关键绩效指标(KPI)来衡量进展。 我们公司非常重视可持续发展,这源于领导层的支持,并贯穿于公司的各个层面。我们设定了关键绩效指标(KPI)来衡量可持续发展方面的表现,就像我们追踪其他业务指标一样。领导层的支持至关重要,它能确保可持续发展成为公司文化的一部分,并得到每位员工的重视。 企业在实施可持续发展计划时,需要领导层的支持,并将其贯彻到管理层和每位员工。通过设定KPI,持续追踪,并重视可持续发展,才能取得成效。 我们公司在可持续发展方面取得的进展,不仅体现在环境效益上,也体现在商业价值上。通过减少浪费、提高效率,我们降低了整体拥有成本(TCO),并提升了企业的竞争力。 企业启动可持续发展之旅,应首先进行研究,制定创新方案,并寻求非营利组织的帮助。 Brian Keiger: 我代表移动自动化集团,我认为可持续发展最大的挑战是如何看待可持续发展。它不只是环保,更应该赋能战略举措,包括运营、业务和财务等方面。可持续发展需要改变管理模式,采用新技术,并关注员工的可持续性,使员工感到被赋能,从而提高员工满意度和留存率。 衡量可持续发展进展的关键在于设定正确的关键绩效指标(KPI),追踪环境、社会和经济影响。许多人只关注排放量,但可持续发展涵盖的范围更广,例如排放强度、可再生能源使用情况等。 可持续发展不仅具有环境效益,也具有商业价值,可以提升企业竞争力,并带来短期和长期的经济效益。它可以帮助企业降低整体拥有成本(TCO),提高效率,减少浪费,并改善员工的工作环境。 我们与客户建立了合作伙伴关系,共同努力实现可持续发展目标。我们不仅关注单个解决方案,更关注其对整个业务流程的影响,力求在整个过程中创造可持续性。 客户越来越重视可持续发展,将其作为关键驱动因素,并要求供应商提供具有可持续效益的解决方案。可持续发展是一个循序渐进的过程,企业应从小处着手,持续改进,并利用技术来减少能源消耗和浪费。
