Product Stewardship in Action describes how and why leading
companies are taking responsibility for the environmental impact of
their products and packaging. Product stewardship, often referred
to as "extended producer responsibility" or EPR, is the idea that
everyone that benefits commercially from a product, including
manufacturers, distributors and retailers, has a shared
responsibility to minimize its environmental impacts. Written
primarily for a business audience, it draws on the knowledge and
experience of industry practitioners and other experts to provide a
structured approach to product responsibility within firms. This
will help those new to the field, as well as more experienced
practitioners, to develop an effective response to stakeholder
concerns about the environmental impacts of their products and
packaging. Unlike other resources on product stewardship and EPR,
which tend to focus on the design or evaluation of public policy,
this book highlights the business case for action. It argues that
companies can achieve "shared value" - both public and commercial
value - when they take a proactive and knowledge-based approach to
the life-cycle management of their products. Product Stewardship in
Action focuses on product stewardship as an effective business
strategy rather than a philanthropic exercise. To be effective it
needs to be based on a good understanding of product impacts and
stakeholder concerns, and the risks and opportunities that these
present to the business. The most effective responses will be those
that address material issues in the product life-cycle while
supporting the achievement of other corporate goals and priorities.
