Highlight from mandatory sustainable papers – as short as possible
Montabon (2016). Making sustainability sustainable
The key to instrumental logic is that economic performance is the goal, not sustainability. In the
instrumental logic, the triple bottom line is applied. However, one construct becoming more
environmentally or socially sustainable, influences another such as profits. The emphasis on finding
shared value, win-win outcomes or determining when it pays to be green has certainly moved the
field forwards. However, the instrumental logic dominated by economics, especially manifested as
profits.
The Ecologically Dominant logic is explicit when trade-offs are encountered and is aimed at creating a
truly sustainable supply chain, by prioritising environment then society and only then consider
economics when trade-offs occur.

environment
The original “Desing for” approaches were created as a means of making the operations and
production aspects of product creation more efficient and reducing time, cost, and errors. DFX
techniques were developed to proactively manage these issues.
