Survey Highlights Differences in Sustainable Development Priorities around the World
Midland, MI – Sept 5, 2007 -Waste reduction is the most important environmental issue facing manufacturing businesses today, according to an international study on sustainability and environmental trends conducted by Harris Interactive for Dow Corning Corporation. Eight out of ten managers and professionals in the USA; Brazil; Italy & Germany rank waste reduction as a higher priority than other environmental factors: such as increasing energy efficiency or; developing green (environmentally friendly) products.
But the study of more than 1,000 people also reveals how attitudes about sustainability vary across the world. Managers in China, Korea and India for example, consider the development of green (environmentally friendly) products as a more important driver than CO2 emissions, use of clean/renewable energy sources or waste reduction.
