MANY ORGANIZATIONS
HAVE THIS SLOGAN
TO IMPROVE CARBON FOOTPTINT
Many Organizations to focus on GREEN Initiatives
have added “ENVIRONMENTAL WASTES AS 8TH / 9TH
Wastes in addition to other wastes as a part of LEAN.
To promote GREEN Organizations undertake ‘
ENVIROMENTAL VALUE STREAM MAPPING ‘ for
environment related WASTES elimination.

WHAT IS CARBON FOOT PRINT
What is a carbon footprint - definition
A carbon footprint is defined as:
The total amount of greenhouse gases produced to directly and
indirectly support human activities, usually expressed in
equivalent tons of carbon dioxide (CO2).
For Industries carbon footprint is the sum of all emissions of CO2
(carbon dioxide), which were induced by COMPANY activities in a
given time frame. Usually a carbon footprint is calculated for the
time period of ONE year as Kilo Gram Equivalent of Carbon
Emissions expressed as Co2 Kge

Environmental waste is any unnecessary use of
resources or a substance released into the air,
water, or land that could harm human health or
the environment. Environmental wastes are often
a sign of inefficient production, and they
frequently indicate opportunities for saving cost
and time.
The following 5 are environmental wastes.

At Walmart, we know that being an efficient and profitable
business and being a good steward of the environment are
goals that can work together. Our broad environmental
goals at Walmart are simple and straightforward:
>> TO be supplied 100 percent by renewable energy;
>> To create zero waste;
>>To sell products that sustain people and the environment.

More recently, Wal-Mart’s called for the reduction of 20
million metric tons of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by the
end of 2015 with help from its suppliers. This translates into 150
percent of the giant retailer’s estimated global carbon
footprint growth over the next five years.
In March, the chain began working with its Chinese suppliers
to address energy efficiency and environmental impacts.
Even when faced with costly lawsuits, the response has been
to institute environmental efforts. One example is the
agreement to install solar systems at two planned California
superstores as a means of settling two lawsuits it faced over
future emissions at the sites.

The
retailer
in
2009
introduced
its
sustainability index to grade suppliers and
products on a range of environmental and
sustainable factors.
In 2008, the retailer’s Sustainable Packaging
Scorecard aimed at getting suppliers to
reduce the amount of packaging in their
products, and eliminating any negative
environmental impact of their packaging..

Worldwide leader in the manufacture of global medical products
Baxter Healthcare Corporation
AN interdepartmental team developed understood Lean Six
sigma and made value stream maps (VSM) that detailed the
plant’s use of water and identified processes with potential for
improvement
Using the VSMs, the team developed an implementation plan
that will save 170,000 gallons of water per day and over $17,000
over three months, with little or no capital investment
OVER 18 % WATER SAVING and 22 % drop in wastes generation
/ discarded items
Overall improved environmental footprint per unit output, a key
benchmark of GREEN efficiency

CEO Michael Dell heralded a series of programs to
shrink the company's carbon footprint and offset its
greenhouse gas emissions.
Carbon Foot print is expressed in Kg-CO2e Unit
(kilogram carbon equivalent), which is the sum of all
Greenhouse Gas /corbon monoxide emission from
Operations covering production and all services

CEO Michael Dell has announced that it will be the
FIRST Computer Manufacturer to make its Operations
“CORBON NUTRAL”
For every unit of greenhouse gas that goes into
computer production and distribution, Dell will
find an equal offset through investing in
renewable
energy
sources
or
energy
efficiency. (tree plantation, bio degradable items use, water
savings, reusable energy use etc)
