You will hear five different people talking about ways to build sustainability into the fabric of their business.
For each extract, there are two tasks. Look at Task One. For each question, 13—17, decide which approach each speaker mentions from the list A—H. Now look at Task Two. For each question, 18—22, choose the reason each company takes the approach from the list A-H.
After you have listened once, replay the recording.
You now have 30 seconds to read the two lists.
[pause]
Now listen, and do the two tasks.
[pause]
Woman: At Kraft Foods, the approach to sustainability is helping the company meet the needs of the present while also being mindful of the future. I believe it is all down to leading from the head and the heart and about each and every individual taking steps, both big and small, to do their part. We believe it’s about working together to build a better world. We’ve been on this journey for a number of years, and we’re making good progress—in the last three years we’ve raised the bar significantly higher-making sustainability a company-wide effort, setting aggressive sustainability goals and making it a business priority. The company are working to make a lasting difference, and part of the business strategy by incorporating it into business decisions and to help guide thinking and actions.
Man: In fact, Herman Miller began its work on sustainability back in the 1950s, when the company’s founder, Paul Murray, stated that every employee should be a good corporate environmental steward. There is no doubt that the founder of the company really set the DNA if you will, for the environmental programme, you know, it’s ok to worry about the environment, He set a precedent by saying that every person should be able to see out of a window for no less than 50 feet and proclaimed that any land bought as green space should be kept at 50 percent green space. And he continued doing things as he went along, like creating a wood waste boiler so that we could burn our wood waste to create energy so what is recognised today as renewable fuel.
Woman: Product sustainability has also been a key focus at Dell. Product recycling remains a key element of the company’s green strategy and the firm takes a whole lifestyle approach to sustainability that takes into account product design, business operations, supply chain efficiency, manufacturing and end of life product considerations. With this approach we aim to make ’being green’ easier, more efficient and more cost effective for our customers. For example, we were one of the first organisations in the industry to offer a free global recycling programme for consumers and a suite of asset recovery services for businesses. We’re actively working to integrate innovative agricultural materials into packaging for products across our portfolio. Dell has always maintained a positive approach to attainability and in many cases remains on top of its game in adopting green practices.
Man: DuPont has focused on corporate sustain-ability for sometime, in fact DuPont has over two decades of experience in the sustainability sector. We believe that the longer you commit to one thing, the better it’ll be realised. In 1989, the company announced its first set of goals with a focus on reducing the environmental footprint of manufacturing operations and performing in line with public expectations. Over the last several years, the company has been moved to recognise the value of helping its customers and consumers improve their environmental footprint. In 2006, the company established its current goals, which is expected to be achieved by 2015. While the 2015 goals continue our drive toward a smaller footprint, they also commit us to apply our science and innovation to deliver sustainable solutions to markets around the world. Our market-facing goals identify opportunities where we can create new products and services that will help meet our customers’ needs and expectation for more sustainable offerings. We are anticipating and responding to changes in the global marketplace that are driving demand for solutions to major challenges, such as climate change, clean energy, water and ecosystem protection.
Woman; We believe that the first step is looking at your business in a new light—only then will you be able to harness business opportunities and turn people’s good intentions into meaningful results. Whatever the business, there are sure to be lots of opportunities for improvement. Thankfully, more employees than ever get sustainability and want to make a meaningful difference. A number of companies are doing great things and what they all have in common is focus—a willingness to partner and a guiding vision. We actively encourage our employees to consider their own environmental impact and to take an active role in helping to ensure a greener future.
