its environmental initiative.
The organizational drivers that help P&G recognize the needs for its
environmental
initiative are waste minimization, product and process modifications, and the green
company image. In 2008, the company launched Zero Manufacturing Waste to
Landfill program. This program minimizes waste which improves profitability, and
any savings go directly to the bottom line, boosting the company's competitiveness.
A waste minimization program enhances business performance while also
lowering environmental impact in the short run. Second, improvements to product
and process design result in the final product using fewer natural resources.
Eventually, a green representation of the firm appears. To gain a competitive
advantage, the P&G Company strives to separate itself from its competitors at
all times. Several industries understand that, if possible, businesses and the

2. Using the case facts, explain the pillar/s of sustainability reflected on the
given scenario.
The case study includes two of the three supportability pillars, the natural and
financial column. To start, we have the natural column that ensures that the
P&G Company’s common assets are available and productive. To be more cost-
effective, the company should focus on minimizing its carbon footprint, proper
waste management, and water utilization, and reduce overall negative
environmental impact. The other one is the financial column. Financial efficiency is
ensured by trade deals suggesting that to be practical, the business must be
profitable. This sustainability pillar also includes the company standards such as
compliance, legal administration, and risk management.
