Most people in business have by now heard of something called ISO 9000 certification. This is a quality standard which reaches across many industries. Achieving ISO 9000 is one of the highest possible endorsements in terms of the quality of the production and products that a company is involved in. However, ISO 9000 guidelines apply to more than just the company's own production practices. They also apply to the couriers and shipping companies that they use to move their goods. Therefore, if an ISO 9000 certified or hopeful company wants to use a San Francisco delivery service to move their goods, they also have to make sure that the courier in question is adhering to all of the applicable ISO 9000 guidelines.

You are right, energy efficiency and carbon emissions would be at the core of the conversation. There's been so much publicity over this subject, over the years, based on a cutback in consumption and a reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.Carbon emissions around the world must be, quite rightly, the focus of corporate attention. However, global water usage is also unsustainable and could, in fact, turn out to be an even larger problem than greenhouse gas emissions. Many experts believe that we will run out of water on our current path way before we deplete our nonrenewable fuel sources.A trusted watchdog organization, the 2030 Water Resources Group, estimates that our global water requirements will increase by 50% in the next 20 years. If we don't make efforts to cut back, they say that this will represent 40% more than our ability to supply, a sobering thought.In terms of global water usage, industrial and commercial use accounts for about 20% of the total. This is expected to double in the next twenty years. While it's true...more
