We are living an unprecedented time in which we all experience devastating events such as the pandemic, floods, storms, heat waves, etc. Organisations are not isolated, but on the contrary, their actions impact drastically our society, the Earth and the future generations. Therefore, there is an urgent need to understand how to adopt lean for sustainability best practices to address climate change and environmental degradation.

Non-value adding activities consume resources and thus we can say they are not economically sustainable. Sustainability addresses how processes and operations be efficient, last longer and have less impact on the environment and society. Sustainable processes reduce ecological impacts, integrate stakeholders needs and look forward to eliminating wasteful depletion of resources. Given the ability to reduce waste and to increase productivity, sustainable lean initiatives should be considered in the improvement pipeline of all organisations. There is a clear opportunity to solve environmental challenges with lean tools to impact positively sustainability outcomes. In our masterclass participants will
