An industrial park must take measures to ensure that the activities at these sites are adequately regulated to avoid affecting the ecosystem in which they operate and always seek to move towards sustainability.To prevent a scenario where the environment and its balance for society’s sustainability reach a point where irreparable damage is generated, the government and the industries must be even more aware of the relevance of sustainable development in companies and create and implement several ecological strategies.
Moving towards a sustainable industry
Achieving this goal (among others) has led to the so-called “Industry 4.0”: a new revolution that aims to develop an internal and external logistical approach to environmental issues, each one for what happens within every company and regarding its suppliers in order to reduce the carbon footprint on industrial services.
Additionally, there is a roadmap1 of the Mexican Association of Industrial Parks focusing on implementing the processes for the sustainable industry by 2030 as part of the standards to be followed. Some of these processes are improving energy, water, and waste management systems.
That document states the collaboration between the private sector and educational institutions, and international organizations to address sustainable development issues, homogenize practices, and promote programs in favor of sustainability.
Furthermore, when attending the forum “the 2030 Industrial Decarbonization2”, this same association indicated that it is essential to train workers in environmental issues to understand the impact that industrial services have on the ecosystem so that they can be empathetic in this regard.The forum also emphasized that any industrial park must make use of renewable energies, systems for the use and harvesting of rainwater; it also has to separate waste, improve collection, manage and reuse resources, and continue to implement improvement strategies.
Actions to be considered
Some companies have implemented the Sustainable Development Goals3 as a commitment to contribute to the care of the environment and social progress. These goals include promoting the availability of clean water and sanitation, inclusive industry, ocean resources conservation, and ecosystems protection.
This example can help industrial parks develop sustainable models for the future, engage companies in this cause, and care for the planet while becoming more productive and efficient.
Moreover, it is essential to bear in mind the increasing importance given in society to sustainable and sustainability actions undertaken by different industries.
