Sustainable Production

Sustainable Production is defined as the creation of goods and services using processes and systems that are nonpolluting, conserve energy and natural resources, are economically viable, safe and healthy for employees, communities, and consumers, and that are socially and creatively rewarding for all working people. As opposed to older uses of the term, it adds an intergenerational ethic and incorporates environmental consequences. Med_industryextranoise290506
