According to GE sustainability is defined as process of aligning the business strategies to meet wide range of societal needs, reducing environmental impact and aid society developments. As of 2016, GE was investing ana average of $1 billion worldwide for employee development. It was also voted for 11th times as one of the world’s ethical companies (GE, n.d.). It had also carried about 26500 supplier assessment top ensure they deliver quality products (GE, n.d.). in 2016 alone the company invested about $4.9 billion in green research and development programs (GE, n.d.). Despite good sustainability initiative GE has suffered several challenges, but they are responding to them adequately to keep sustainability drive alive.
In 2019, GE recalled some of its turbofan engines designed to power 777X jets (HEMMERDINGER, 2019). The reason for recall was to address compressor issues. Sustainability includes factors such as durability so that the product does not end up being environmental hazard quickly. Durability also helps to reduce pollution since, in case of failed engines, other environmental challenges such as fires are imminent (Business, n.d.). other challenges that the company has faced include being scraped from elite Dow Jones index. The main reason, as described for removal, includes unexpected future risks from industrial company as its stock continued to drop (Shell, 2018).
