Two Six Sigma Master Black Belts show how to create and implement a corporate sustainability strategy using Six Sigma

Six Sigma for Sustainability explains how to get started with a corporate sustainability program or take existing sustainability programs to a higher level of systematic management and production of results. Regardless of why large companies are going green, the shift is never an easy one, particularly within large corporations, where change can be glacial. That’s where this book comes in—it’s the perfect resource for CEOs launching or professionalizing an environmental sustainability program, and Six Sigma Green or Black Belts charged with running a green or sustainability strategy.

The authors show how typical Six Sigma/DMAIC structures lend themselves to sustainability, and how to use the power and tools of Six Sigma to help solve the challenge of sustainability. They explain in detail how typical sustainability problems such as carbon emissions, energy conservation, materials recycling, water use, and finance can be solved using Six Sigma tools. This is a practical, case-based book on the topic of sustainability program implementation.
