BEL CANTO DESIGNThings to cover in the sus report: Triple bottom line accountingLCACradle-to-CradleTriple bottom line is similar to overall cost accounting because it examines the cost not limited to money going out of the company for tangible goods and production, but also to social and environmental impacts. TBL's economic value comes from changing markets and provides 7 ways for businesses to change their economic structure to include future profits through sustainability. The natural step elements describe the need to create sustainable processes and products, reducing environmental costs, by-products and future regulations. , and keep shareholders happy (profit). Herman Miller's Cradle-to-Cradle approach detailed each material designed to be part of its product and measured its material chemistry. Every part of the design should include recycled materials where possible and made with the most recycled plastic available. By planning ahead, this approach is similar to the Natural Step approach, and by designing the product piece by piece based on an environmentally friendly scale, the Cradle-to-Cradle approach reduces waste in the final product. I work for a company that designs and manufactures electronic products. Inside are circuit boards, capacitors, resistors and transformers, all elements of an industrial ecosystem historically at odds with the eco-friendly mentality. Despite this, my company has taken many steps to minimize waste by using recycled materials, balancing materials across product lines, and recycling all metal frames. Seeing for myself how products are designed in the company, I noticed that each segment is designed with materials that are the...... middle of paper ...... tracing facilities that l used on site for their manufacture, we are part of the recycling chain which encompasses our three main objectives in our triple bottom line. In terms of design, we have reduced the size and weight of its products with each revision, and technology permitting, this means that the products use fewer resources. per unit and reduce packaging volume. Less weight during transport helps reduce overall environmental impact. By teaming up with UPS as their primary carrier, we have the opportunity to be part of their unique sustainability strategies that make them one of the most efficient carriers in the United States (GRI Workplace, 2012). As our designs improve, our electronic devices become more capable. effective. This efficiency translates into lower energy consumption on the part of consumers, thereby further minimizing the physical and environmental footprint of our products. We also offer an exchange
