SUSTAINABILITY AT TEIJIN ARAMID: PROVIDING AND INCREASING CUSTOMER VALUE THROUGHOUT THE LIFE CYCLE
Last modified: 2014-09-11
Abstract
Since 2008 Teijin Aramid used Eco Efficiency Analysis as a method to
compare ecological and economic impacts over the full value chain. Since
2011 Teijin Aramid and Ecomatters developed the Customer Benefit Model
(CBM). This model compares specific solutions over the full value chain
from the perspective of the user – and is modeled together with the relevant
chain partners. All kind of variables can be built into the CBM to adapt to
changing circumstances. This way, customer and situational specific
calculations can be made for current and future situations. The CBM has
proven to be an effective tool in providing the edge in convincing customers
and other chain partners of the financial and ecological benefits of our
products.
