Sustainable Business Operation Survey Questionnaire

The introduction of cleaner production/operation or sustainable business operation
techniques has met with mixed success. Some firms have had very successful
implementations while others have adopted and later abandoned the approach. This
questionnaire is the basis of a study aimed at establishing if the introduction of cleaner
production/operation techniques makes a significant difference to various firms in the
Philippines in the manner they run their businesses.
This study is being conducted to know the extent of willingness of companies
operating in the Philippines to invest in cleaner production/operation that will address the
global need for sustainable business operation. This study would also want to assess how
various companies support the concept of environmental management for sustainable
business operations.
