Understanding how different companies shape their policies, principles, and procedures is essential for any business professional. It allows him to be able to understand the best practices that each company has and apply them in the circumstances that his company might face in the future. Accordingly, some of the new core principles that most organizations have tried to embed in their workplace culture are operational efficiency, sustainability, and corporate social responsibility. Principles that recognize and address the ever-growing consumer demand as well as the need to balance them with ecological and social responsibilities. Although this might prove to be difficult, especially with companies that require “special processes” in their production processes, certain best practices have proven otherwise.
In this paper, the author would discuss how these companies balance their operational processes in light of (1) the increasing consumer demand and (2) the need for a sustainable and viable future. Specifically, the succeeding sections of this paper would initially provide a piece of background information about the three companies, including their history, clientele, and operational principles, among others. Subsequently, the author would discuss how the companies fulfill their special processes in light of the shifting economic landscape of the country. Finally, the effects of such processes, including their commitment to social and environmental policies, would be analyzed.
All in all, the author believes that vendors for special processes require a tailored operational and safety standard in order to balance their need to meet market demands and commit to their responsibility to the society and the environment.
