Why are environmental concerns and sustainability often addressed in the operations function?

Solution

Environmental and sustainability are more often addressed in operations because in operations is where most of the damage to the nature is done.

For example Coca Cola uses a lot of water on their productions of his products, to help the sustainability they plant millions of trees all over the world.

Big companies who also uses natural resources on their production lines tend to create schools and provide with programs to help the communities.

Companies are increasingly being asked to produce and deliver products and service while minimizing the negative impact on the global ecosystem and not endangering the ability to meet the needs of future generations.
