Sustainable manufacturing is gaining much attention among practitioners and academicians over a decade. This is because of many of today’s social and environmental issues are rooted in unsustainable forms of industrial and economic development that causes tremendous pressure on finite natural resources. At the same time, corporations are required to meet the stakeholder’s requirements, in order to garner support and legitimacy for smooth conduct of business. Further, corporates are developing new technologies and sustainable approaches that could be integrated with sustainable manufacturing to achieve an overall competitive advantage. The term sustainability refers to as “meeting today’s needs of present generations without compromising the future generation’s needs” (Brundtland 1987). Brundtland report also points out two major concerns: development and environment, and these can be labelled as “needs” versus “resources” or short term vs long term. Further, United Nations in its development agenda propose sustainability as economic development, social development and environmental protection and are interdependent and mutually reinforcing mechanisms of sustainable development for achieving higher quality of life for people

In India too, there have been several popular media reports and stories concerning social sustainability issues that include diversity, child and bonded labour, ethical and gender discrimination, resulting in product recalls by the manufacturing units (Ministry of Labour 2014). Thus, World Bank criticised TATA—one of biggest corporate houses in the country—for its inability to address the “working conditions” issues in its coffee supply chain (World Bank 2014). Similarly, a number of children and bonded labourers have been rescued from the manufacturing facilities in Sivakasi and Tiruppur in Tamil Nadu and a few parts of Uttar Pradesh (Ministry of Labour 2014). The Nobel Laureate Khailash Satyarthi’s efforts have been instrumental in rescuing and rehabilitating many children and bonded labours from the Indian manufacturing facilities. Further, media reports routinely pour in about women’s safety issues at the workplace.
