Green Manufacturing and Sustainability

 

The manufacturing industry, today, has gone beyond the need for just leaner and efficient processes. It is under continuous pressure from various stakeholders to make its products and processes greener. Organizations that stay ahead of the curve by demonstrating environmental consciousness will benefit in compelling competitive advantages. A robust carbon management framework will lead to increased sales and streamlined processes that cater to the emerging tighter protocols and penal regulations.

TCS’ green capabilities across the entire value chain, combined with its in-depth domain expertise, help you adapt to the greener techniques.

Client Challenges

While demonstrating environment consciousness and robust carbon management, manufacturing companies encounter various gaps, including the following:

  • Insufficient enterprise eco-footprint and carbon baseline in the process skeleton
  • Inadequate focus on the planned elimination of hazardous and non-eco-friendly materials from products
  • Lack of a supply chain sustainability introduction program beyond the manufacturer’s gates
  • Poor visibility of enterprise eco-sustainability improvement targets and performance information

What TCS Provides


TCS’ comprehensive suite of green solutions addresses the entire value chain. Our key solutions include the following:

Eco-footprint and Carbon Accounting Management (EFCAM)

Eco-footprint and carbon accounting management (EFCAM) is an accounting framework that captures and evaluates information across the business value chain in the six ecological parameters of land, energy, water, waste, air and carbon (LEWWAC). It helps add value to all the stakeholders of your organization — regulators, organizational leadership, employees, suppliers, consumers and investors — and drive process improvements and resource efficiency gains.

Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)

Life cycle assessment (LCA) is a technique that assesses the environmental impact associated with all the stages of a product’s life from cradle-to-grave (i.e., from raw material extraction to materials processing, manufacturing, distribution, use, repair and maintenance, and disposal or recycling).
