Abstract
Forced by competition, by international and national politics and by the “green paradigm”, in recent decades managers have been increasingly considering the sustainability aspects of value creation. Sustainability, or perhaps better, sustainable development “involves the simultaneous pursuit of economic prosperity, environmental quality, and social equity” (Elkington, 2002) while sustainable manufacturing (see Sect. 4.2) refers to the creation of manufactured products that use processes that are non-polluting, conserve energy and natural resources, and are economically sound and safe for employees, communities, and consumers alike. In an integrational perspective, the key characteristic is the integration of economic, environmental, and social aspects, and the relationships between them (Lozano in J Cleaner Product 16:1838–1846, 2008).
