The sustainability goal• is to raise the global standard of living without increasing the
use of resources beyond globally sustainable levels
that is, to not exceed "one planet" consumption.

“Three Pillars" of Sustainability• the economy is a subsystem of human society, which
is itself a subsystem of the biosphere and a gain in one sector is a loss from another

• the word sustainability is applied not only to human sustainability on Earth, but to many situations and contexts like balance of production and consumption.
– It can also apply to a : "sustainable Business"

IndustryThe industrialization process affects the environment in several ways at:
The input preparation and makeup stage: Through the depletion, destruction or transformation of the natural resource base, lands, and soils to obtain its
raw materials;
The manufacturing (processing) stage: Through environmental pollution by environmentally unsound technologies;
The product use stage: Maintenance and repair;
The product after-use stage: Through generating waste with its attendant problems of its disposal (re-use, recycling, etc.).

Defence Industry1. Defence contractors:
business organizations or individuals that provide products or services to a defence department of a government.
2. The Arms industry:
which produces guns, ammunition, missiles, military aircraft, and their associated consumables and systems

25
The sector is mainly dependent on a single customer —i.e. government.
Any company can’t increase government spending on Defence but only market share.
In the Defence industry, revenue is limited by politics and Government budgets.
Structure of Defence Industry
![Page 26: sustainability management challenges in defense industry](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061200/5470ae31b4af9fbe0a8b48a5/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

The idea that the outlook for the defence sector depends on three factors – ◦ Threats to nation, ◦ Politics and ◦ Economics
No threat, no defence industry -- it's almost that simple.
Military Threats Drive the Defence Sector

Environmental Factors
Given the nature of the industry, environmental concerns are little discussed, but some drivers affect the sector:
Clean-up of facilities
Waste and emissions
Environmental effects of weapons
Eco problems due to usage of aviation fuel.
![Page 29: sustainability management challenges in defense industry](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061200/5470ae31b4af9fbe0a8b48a5/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)

During 2005, the relationship with the customer has changed, and different contractors have taken different approaches.
• Boeing does pure outsourcing and integration. • Northrop Grumman and Lockheed martin keep deeper expertise in house. • Raytheon seeks vertical integration, growth from the bottom up. • Bae has tried to carve out a role as global integrator but technology
transfer laws make this difficult. • The market and the government (the buyer) are sorting out what model is
best.
Changes/Trends in Major Defence Players

Key Highlights of Sustainability in Defence Industry
• Cost savings, attracting new customers and managing corporate
reputation are major drivers influencing sustainability efforts in the defense industry.
• Post recession some 62% of industry players around the globe
are looking to increase their sustainability budget over the next 12 months, with only 10% looking to decrease it during 2010-12.
![Page 32: sustainability management challenges in defense industry](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061200/5470ae31b4af9fbe0a8b48a5/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)

• What does sustainability mean to defence industry ???
![Page 33: sustainability management challenges in defense industry](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061200/5470ae31b4af9fbe0a8b48a5/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
33
For that The question the MOD and defence industry has to answer is:
“How can we continue to improve the quality of life for a growing and demanding population, whilst not failing in our responsibilities to future generations???”
![Page 34: sustainability management challenges in defense industry](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061200/5470ae31b4af9fbe0a8b48a5/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
34
To answer it.• Steps can be made to address this question by looking at
the challenges industry will face in attaining sustainability.
• In practice, this means that appropriate policies, procedures, tools and skills must be developed to ensure that future resources and opportunities are realised.
![Page 35: sustainability management challenges in defense industry](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061200/5470ae31b4af9fbe0a8b48a5/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
35
• Interpreting what being “sustainable” means to a specific organisation will facilitate the identification and prioritisation of improvements aligned with the three pillars.
• Acknowledging any current imbalance of these pillars should be considered the first step by any organisation on the journey towards a sustainable future.
![Page 36: sustainability management challenges in defense industry](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061200/5470ae31b4af9fbe0a8b48a5/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
36
The practical side• Balancing the three pillars will help Defence
Industry move to a more sustainable standing. • However, – this is something although we to strive for it
may never actually be fully attained.

38
The general characteristics of defence production especially in USA are: – An emphasis on performance of high-technology weaponry
rather than on cost;
– Risk borne by government, which often finances R&D and, in some cases, provides investment in capital and infrastructure;
– Elaborate rules and regulations on contracts, to compensate for the absence of any form of competitive market and to assure public accountability;
– The prevalence, outside the US, of companies that are national monopolies or close to it.

52
UK • The UK is the first country in the world to adopt a legally
binding target to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 80% by 2050.
• The MOD, because of its purchasing power and scope of its
business, has an important part to play in achieving this target and tackling resource depletion.
![Page 53: sustainability management challenges in defense industry](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061200/5470ae31b4af9fbe0a8b48a5/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
53
Its Aim
• The Sustainability concept has recently gained
prominence in the UK and the government has set its departments ambitious targets to become sustainability leaders in Europe
![Page 54: sustainability management challenges in defense industry](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061200/5470ae31b4af9fbe0a8b48a5/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
54
Existing Good Practices @UK
• It should be noted that below are relevant good practices exist in , that are not necessarily branded as sustainability. but not limited to:
– Financial, quality and environmental management systems;– Efficiency targets;– Apprenticeship schemes;– Investors in people;– Training and re-training;– Industry bodies and forums.
![Page 55: sustainability management challenges in defense industry](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061200/5470ae31b4af9fbe0a8b48a5/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)

Their Sustainable procurement.
• Sustainable procurement is built into UK government policy.
•HOW THEY DO IT
![Page 56: sustainability management challenges in defense industry](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061200/5470ae31b4af9fbe0a8b48a5/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
56
• The UK Government Buying Standards simplify sustainable procurement by:
– Providing minimum and best practice standards for around 50 different products;
– Giving you straightforward specifications you can insert directly into tenders;
– Asking suppliers to prove their compliance with these standards;– Enabling more suppliers to develop products that meet the
standards – so increasing competitiveness.
![Page 57: sustainability management challenges in defense industry](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061200/5470ae31b4af9fbe0a8b48a5/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
57
Their Sustainable Procurement Team.
• The Sustainable Procurement Team is responsible for both :
– Ensuring Defence capability and operational sustainability in the long-term.
– Addressing the implications of resource depletion & climate change, and embedding sustainability within the MOD’s acquisition processes.

Major Challenges
• Defining Sustainability in the MOD and the Defence Industry is a big challenge.
![Page 61: sustainability management challenges in defense industry](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061200/5470ae31b4af9fbe0a8b48a5/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
61
The Main challenges are:
A defense product which is sustainable should be – Fit for the challenge of today;– Ready for the tasks of tomorrow;– Capable of building for the future.
The MOD primary concerns are capability and Affordability
![Page 62: sustainability management challenges in defense industry](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061200/5470ae31b4af9fbe0a8b48a5/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
62
• More than 78% of suppliers agree that only a minority of defense
ministries consider reduction of carbon emissions as a criterion for supplier selection.
• During the cold war, defense firms invested 4% of their revenue in
research and development. Today the figure is 1.5%. Some of this shift is explained by business shifts; for example, it has lower R&D costs. – The question is who will do the research and development if industry will
not???
![Page 63: sustainability management challenges in defense industry](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061200/5470ae31b4af9fbe0a8b48a5/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
63
• Six sigma, lean manufacturing may not fully apply in the defense industry(USA).
• Due to dis-investment process in underperforming
projects by USA Govt, the companies lost revenue which make them weaker in the sight of investors who think Apple & BMW is a better bet.
• Transfer of technology is difficult among different countries.
![Page 64: sustainability management challenges in defense industry](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061200/5470ae31b4af9fbe0a8b48a5/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)
64
Suggestions
• Eco-friendly Arms to be our future dream– Cluster Bombs– Destroy Target not the environment
![Page 65: sustainability management challenges in defense industry](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061200/5470ae31b4af9fbe0a8b48a5/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)
65
Finally Sustainable management as an economic opportunity
• The idea of sustainability as a business opportunity has led to job creation through the introduction of green-collar workers.– Green-collar worker is a worker who is employed in the environmental
sectors of the economy. Environmental green-collar workers (or Green Jobs) satisfy the demand for green development .
![Page 66: sustainability management challenges in defense industry](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061200/5470ae31b4af9fbe0a8b48a5/html5/thumbnails/66.jpg)
