This blog is the second in a series of papers that serves to help define Sustainability in terms of environmental factors, social factors and corporate governance factors. Over the course of this series, we will provide examples of how Time Manufacturing Company is continually improving its sustainable procedures, policies and products. It is useful to understand how sustainability constituents influence each other. At the corporate decision making level, policies and initiatives affect changes in people, which can indirectly have an impact on both quality of life and the environment. It is for these reasons that we have a continual review process, which measures the outcomes and influences of these changes, as they happen, and in ongoing review.
