BAE systems
The BAE systems are advanced to protect the people and security at the national level
and keep the crucial information and infrastructure very secure. The new ways are effective to
provide a competitive edge within the air maritime, cyber domains, and land (Dresner, 2012).
The following discussion will cover the sustainability program, roles of the sustainability, social,
environment, and economic weaknesses with the opportunities, objectives, and targets of the
sustainability efforts, and business values with the sustainability efforts.
Sustainability program
The successful sustainability strategies requires to focus on the all point in the lifecycle
that includes the basic raw material, processes of manufacturing, the process of the customer's
conversion, distribution, and use of customers. The sustainability program of the BAE systems
founded within the life cycle thinking. This enables to consider the impact on the natural capital
across the many types of environmental effects like global warming aptitudes and increasing
energy demands as well as around product value chain. The life cycle approach is important to
identify the important steps in the products life cycle that offers the best opportunity for
improvement. The environmental impact changes are outside the operations of the BAE systems
process like the use phase to lighter the automotive materials and building the materials with
effective insulating properties. The lifecycle assessment is useful to determine the stages of the
product in which environmental benefits and problems occur and change can cause the burdens
to shift within the stages and environmental impact categories. The understanding of the
potential influences early in the processes of development allows improving the decision making
and develops the more sustainable portfolio of the product (Benn, Edwards, & Williams, 2014).
Role of sustainability
The sustainability has an effective role within the organization's strategic plan as it
reduces the effect on environment and improves the efficiency of the resources, products,
suppliers, and customers to make a good business sense. This generates the options to set and
meet the improvement targets for the energy, waste and additional work with the opportunities.
