EAM Strategies - Creating Social and Financial Value by Going Green

Thousands of years ago, Egyptian farmers understood the business value of optimizing their key processes and making the most of their resources. By controlling the Nile's floodwaters and reclaiming the fertile silt left behind, for example, these agriculturalists were able to extend their growing season and increase their crop production and wealth, even in one of the most arid climates on Earth.

Business today is much the same. Enterprises use natural resources to produce goods or deliver services. How those goods and services are produced and delivered has an impact on the environment. Progressive companies have discovered that they can optimize their processes and assets to make the best use of resources, reduce negative impact on their surroundings, and strengthen their business results-all at the same time. This is what Infor™ and others call "going Green."
