Survey shows that 'green manufacturing' has yet to be adopted by most manufacturers
The early returns on the manufacturing industry's adoption of green initiatives is still pretty spotty. While the majority of those companies surveyed by EyeForTransport indicate an awareness of the need for complying with environmental regulations, many companies have yet to formally institute green manufacturing throughout their operations. Some findings from the study:
67 percent of respondents currently facing environmental regulations
65 percent that plan to make energy-efficiency investments in 2009
60 percent whose energy efficiency improvements are funded through their operations budget
39 percent who have seen no increased demand for environmental information from customers
35 percent who are actively practicing green manufacturing and have written policies in place
30 percent who have no green manufacturing policies in place
23 percent who do not know if their companies will be investing in energy efficiency in 2009
13 percent who have no plans to invest in energy efficiency in 2009
