• Revenue:
- On average, manufacturing firms spend 70% of their
revenue with suppliers.
• Capital:
- Capital is typically invested by firms in their
facilities, equipment and manufacturing technology.
• Logistics
- costs range from 6% - 20% of the price to the final
customer
- transport costs account for 1/3 of logistics costs

Concerns Anthropogenic (Mans) Impacts on Nature
How Nature and Humans Operate and Interact
40
How Do We Interact With Nature?
• Production of
Goods & Services
• Resource use &
exploitation
• Landscapes
• Aesthetics
• Food
• Shelter
• Clothing
• Leisure
• Pollution
41
Changes in Anthropogenic Impact
• Hunter Gatherers
• Subsistence Farming
• Agricultural
Communities
• Industrial Revolution
• Information
Revolution
• Nomadic
• Organic Methods
• “Tragedy of the
Commons” (Hardin)
• Where there’s smoke,

• Self determination &
Individualism
42
Limiting Factors in using Nature
Carrying Capacity
• The maximum amount
that can be assimilated
by the environment
without causing
dysfunction in resource
processes
Assimilative Capacity
• The amount the
environment can
tolerate without harm
Threshold Level
• The point at which the
environment stops
functioning as a
resource
• The point at which
dilution is no longer the
solution
43
Exponential Growth
Population Growth
• 1930 = 2 billion
• 1960 = 3 billion
• 1977 = 4 billion
• 1989 = 5 billion
• 1999 = 6 billion
• 2011 = 7 billion
Doubling Time*
• 30 years
• 17 years
• 12 years
• 10 years
• 12 years
• *Officially doubling time is the time it takes any population to double in size (i.e. twice as large)
44
Sustainability
Sustainable Society
• manages its economy and population size without
exceeding the environments ability to absorb
pollutants, replenish resources, and sustain human
and ecological life forms.
Sustainable Development
• meeting present needs without preventing future
generations from meeting their potential needs
45
Theories on Sustainability
Neo-Malthusian
• Population will exceed Earth’s carrying capacity
- Food production is a linear curve
- Population is an exponential curve
- When the lines cross, something has to give…a
crash occurs
(Essay on the Principle of Population)
46
Theories on Sustainability
Hardin’s “Tragedy of the Commons”
• No economic disincentive to not use up resource
• Overuse and pollution of resources leads to environmental collapse
• Users are free riders
Essentially – individuals will not observe the common good in terms of resource usage – but will follow self interest
Sustainability/Self sufficiency
• Can we, as individuals, be self sufficient?
- Think of your own resource consumption
• Can organizations be self sufficient?
- 70% of average income spent with suppliers
• Can communities be self sufficient?
- Aboriginal Australians, American Indians, Aztecs, Egypt,
Roman Empire, Chinese Dynasties
• Is there conflict between individual, group, local, regional,
national and global sufficiency?
- Resource consumption per capita – US vs. developing world
So, where is the incentive?
• According to Werner Marx – the only incentive to be
sustainable is through compassion. (This is a
‘postmodernist’ view; one that reflects a philosophical view
of an acceptable, new and fragmentary view of the world)
The debate
• Falsification/exaggeration - problems with IPCC’s claims over Himalayan glaciers and the Netherlands’ exposure to sea incursion
• Bjorn Lomborg – ‘contrarian’ whose latest book (“Smart Solutions to Climate Change: Comparing Costs and Benefits”) calls for investment in carbon neutral energy.
United Nations Global Compact
Human rights
Businesses should support and respect the protection of
- internationally proclaimed human rights; and
- make sure that they are not complicit in human rights abuses.
Labour
Businesses should uphold the freedom of association and the
- effective recognition of the right to collective bargaining;
- the elimination of all forms of forced and compulsory labour;
- the effective abolition of child labour; and
- the elimination of discrimination in respect of employment and occupation.
Environment
Businesses are asked to support a precautionary approach to
- environmental challenges;
- undertake initiatives to promote greater environmental
- responsibility; and encourage the development and diffusion of environmentally friendly
technologies.
Anti-corrupt ion
Businesses should work against corruption in all its forms,
- including extortion and bribery.

• In India “children as young as 10, came from a poor farming district on the other side of the country, and said they had never been given promised wages for working up to 15 hours a day.”
• In China children as young as 8 are working 15 hour days, 7 days a week for 26 cents.
• In the United States children are working 10 to 12 hours a day.

• looking at … supply chain(s) as the next frontier for combating climate change. “Carbon footprint is absolutely new territory." says a Herman Miller VP. "“We’re not sure how we’ll measure it, we’re not sure how we’ll deal with it, but we’ve told our suppliers, ‘Get ready, because we’re going to ask you a lot of questions.’” New York Times Nov 7, 2007
• 95% of the raw Materials used to produce and deliver products are absorbed in the supply chain (Cradle to Cradle)
• The Earth has an estimated 61 years of copper reserves remaining. Environmental analyst, however, has suggested copper might run out within 25 years based on a reasonable extrapolation of 2% growth per year.
• Copper has been in use at least 10,000 years, but more than 95 percent of all copper ever mined and smelted has been extracted since 1900. And as India and China race to catch up with the West, copper supplies are getting tight. Copper is among the most important industrial metals. Like fossil fuels, copper is a finite resource.
Copper
• The earth has been estimated to have 46 years supply of zinc. A chemist estimated
in 2007 that at the current rate of usage, the world's supply of zinc would be
exhausted by about the year 2037
Zinc
Aluminium
In the Earth's crust, aluminium is the most abundant (8.13%) metallic element, and the third most abundant of all elements (after oxygen and silicon). Almost all metallic aluminium is produced from the ore bauxite. Bauxite occurs as a weathering product of low iron and silica bedrock in tropical climatic conditions
Titanium
• Significant titanium-bearing ilmenite deposits exist in western Australia, Canada, China, New Zealand, Norway and Ukraine. Large quantities of rutile are also mined in North America and South Africa and help contribute to the annual production of 90,000 ton of the metal and 4.3 million ton of titanium dioxide. Total known reserves of titanium are estimated to exceed 600 million ton

OverviewThe term “Rare Earths” refers to the 15 Lanthanide
elements and Yttrium
• Rare Earths aren’t really “rare”
• More plentiful than silver
• Rare Earths are extracted from Bastnaesite, Monazite,
Apatite, Xenotime and Ionic Clays
Four Major Factors
• China
Became a major player in a short time
Went from 16,500t REO in 1990 to over 100,000t REO in 2003
• Breakup of the USSR
Large stockpiles of Rare Earths became available on the world market for the first time
Predominantly Rare Earth metals, suited for military purposes
• Radiation Problems
Problems with disposal of Thorium byproducts
Australia and India decreased in importance
• Shutting down of Molycorp
Molycorp was shut down due to environmental problems
Cyclical Chinese Market
•2000
Several Chinese producers have gone bankrupt (Down to 80 from 150)
Chinese Government steps in, creates export quotas
Minimum prices are set•2000-01
Uptrend in prices due to increased demand in the telecom/computer industry
Several closed units are re-opened•2001-03
Telecom/Computer Industries collapse
Prices drop drastically•2003-2007
Chinese Government attempts to organize the Industry into two groups
Prices about 30-50% below 2000 levels
Chinese Market - Today
• Increased domestic consumption
• Chinese enterprises moving up the value chain
Battery Powder
Magnetic Powder
Chinese Govt. very keen on catalyst plant
• Crack down on environmental problems
• Reduction in illegal mining
• Increased production of Bastnaesite in Sichuan
• Ionic Clays production continues to increase
Cartel Formation
“Rare Earths is to China what Oil is to OPEC”Deng Xiaoping
• A first attempt was made in 1994 – It failed
• The Chinese Govt. wanted to create a cartel because of these reasons
• Severe oversupply
• Price undercutting
• Margin erosion (2004 prices were lower than the prices in 2000)
Steps Taken
• ‘Cap’ on annual Rare Earths export through restricted export quotas/licenses
• A willingness to let uneconomic enterprises go bankrupt
• Suspension of new mining licenses until Dec. 2005
• Creation of two blocs
North, controlled by Baotou Steel and Rare Earth
South, controlled by Aluminum Corp of China & China
National Metals & Minerals (Minmetal)
The Plan
• Supply all mined Rare Earth ores only to members of these blocs
• Export quotas would only be provided to members of the groups
• Government to actively shut down plants operating without a mining license
• Coordinated, centrally orchestrated pricing
The Result
• The Govt. could not control the entrepreneurial spirit of the owners
• Fundamental differences in:
• Goals
• Scales
• Production Technologies
• Difficulty in setting up co-financing agreements
• The plan has been completely abandoned

Using the world’s water?
• How do you use water?
• Washing
• Laundry
• Drinking
• Heating
• Swimming
• Irrigation……
External water footprint i.e. the Quantity of “virtual*” water deriving from
other countries in imported goods
• The UK imports most of its requirement for tomatoes in winter from Morocco: where 1 tomato requires 13 liters of water . By 2020, at current rates, groundwater in Morocco will be effectively exhausted
• A shirt made from cotton grown in Pakistan or Uzbekistan requires 2,700 liters of water: Much of which comes from depleted sources such as the Indus river (that often runs dry before it reaches the sea), or from Aral Sea that has lost 80% of its volume in the last 40 years because of excess irrigation.

Why is there a problem with food prices
now?
• Soaring oil and energy prices have pushed up costs:
–fertiliser is up more than 70%,
–fuel for tractors and farm machinery is up 30%,
–pesticides, which depend on oil, are up too,
–as are labour costs;
Why is there a problem with food prices
now?
• Demand is rising as the global population grows and increasing affluence impacts on demand for meat, eggs and dairy products. (Over 30% of the world's grain now goes to feeding animals rather than people directly. Farming one acre of decent land can produce 138lbs of protein from grain, but one acre given over to beef farming will produce only 20lbs of protein;)
Why is there a problem with food prices
now?
• Droughts in grain-producing areas of the world have hit harvests in the last few years. Grain stocks are at a historic low;
Why is there a problem with food prices
now?
• Biofuels are competing with food for arable land, with both the US and the EU mandating their use. About 30% of the US corn crop is expected to be diverted to biofuels this year;
Why is there a problem with food prices
now?
• Speculative trading in agricultural commodities has grown dramatically.
• Several big investment banks have launched agricultural commodity index funds, as they look for new areas to make profits in following the credit crunch.
• The result ? Enormous fluctuations in market prices that do not appear to relate to changes in fundamentals such as supply and demand.
• Four years ago $10-15bn was invested in agricultural commodities funds - now that figure is more than $150bn. (Wall Street investment funds own 40% of US wheat futures and more
than one fifth of US corn futures.)
