Chapter 3 concludes with an article titled "Sustainability, ROA, and the Golden Rule." Please read that article and discuss why it may be profitable in the long-term to operate a firm in a sustainable manner. Give examples of sustainability practices being used in industry today and discuss their profitability or lack thereof.

The article: "Sustainability, ROA, and the Golden Rule”

Perhaps “sustainability” isn't the first word that comes to mind when someone thinks about the garbage business. However, today's waste industry leaders not only develop sanitary landfills with synthetic liners and ground water monitoring wells, but they are often at the forefront of community recycling and renewable energy efforts.

When Lonnie Poole started Waste Industries in 1970, he didn't know that the company would grow to be one of the country's largest waste companies, but like most entrepreneurs, he did believe that he could build a business for the long haul. Focused on a commitment to service, Poole knew that his company had to find ways to offer service options that were both economically viable and environmentally sustainable. Sometimes projects provided an adequate near-term return on assets (ROA), and they also made sense from a sustainability perspective. Other times, doing the right thing from a long-term sustainability perspective meant Waste Industries needed to find a way to overcome short-term financial considerations.

Take the company's recycling effort as an example. Waste Industries has been engaged in recycling since the 1970s. From an ROA perspective, it was hard to justify the firm's recycling efforts. At first, there was no market for the recyclables. Instead of selling recycled paper, the firm had to pay paper companies to haul recycled paper away. Over time, Waste Industries' investments in sustainability began to pay off. Due to their early investments, today an infrastructure has developed to recycle more waste at lower costs.

Based purely on a short-run ROA, the firm's long-term commitment was not justified, but Poole's commitment to recycling and other sustainable practices were part of a wider corporate culture focused on treating customers, employees, and the broader community with respect.

Now business researchers are finding that Poole may have simply been ahead of his time. When Harvard researchers examined the impact of corporate sustainability initiatives on long-term firm performance, they discovered both higher ROA and higher ROE (return on equity) for firms whose executives promoted sustainability within their firms.

Philosophers and religious leaders have long touted the “golden rule” as a basic ethical code, which states one should do to others what they would wish done to themselves. Like many successful business people, Poole believed sustainability meant making a positive difference in the communities his company served, enriching the lives of employees, and forging meaningful relationships with vendors and suppliers. In the long run, these values paid off. Perhaps this is why a basic rule for ethical behavior is called “golden.”

The CEO of Dynamic Manufacturing was at a conference and talked to a supplier about a new piece of equipment for its production process that she believes will produce ongoing cost savings. As the Operations Manager, your CEO has asked for your perspective on whether or not to purchase the machinery. After talking to the supplier and meeting with your Engineers and Financial Analysts, you’ve gathered the following pieces of data: • Cost of Machine: $140,000 • Estimated Annual After Tax Cash Flow Savings: $60,000 (which may or may not grow) • Estimated machinery life: 3-5 years (after which there will be zero value for the equipment and no further cost savings) • You seem to recall that Dynamic’s Finance organization recommends either a 10% or a 15% discount rate for all Cost Savings Projects From your JWMI MBA, you know that you need to understand the project financials to ensure that this investment will be economically attractive to Dynamic Manufacturing’s shareholders. Calculate the Nominal Payback, the Discounted Payback, the Net Present Value and the IRR for each scenario, assuming: A. Ann (A) recommends using the base assumptions above: 3 year project life, flat annual savings, 10% discount rate. B. Bob (B) recommends savings that grow each year: 3 year project life, 10% discount rate and a 10% compounded annual savings growth in years 2 & 3. In other words, instead of assuming savings stay flat, assume that they will grow by 10% in year 2, and then grow another 10% over year 3 in year. C. Cassidy (C) believes we use a higher Discount Rate because of the risk of this type of project: 3 year project life, flat annual savings, 15% discount rate. D. David (D) is convinced the machine will last longer than 3 years. He recommends using a 5 Year Equipment Life: 5 year project and savings life, flat annual savings, 10% discount rate. In other words, assume that the machine will last 2 more years and deliver 2 more years of savings. In an MS Word document, in paragraph form, respond to the following questions: 1) Which person’s scenario would you present to management and why? From a strictly financial (numbers) perspective, would you recommend this purchase to management? 2) In your opinion, which person’s scenario is based on the most aggressive assumptions? If you were to select this scenario as the basis for your proposal, how would you justify the more aggressive assumptions? 3) In SIMPLE English (as in talking to a non-Finance and non-MBA person), explain why there is value to management in running all 4 of these scenarios. 4) Beyond financial measures, what other factors would you want to consider, before making a recommendation to management? 5) If you were the CEO, would you approve this proposal? Why or why not?

Pt-1 Jennifer Hoffman is a 33-year-old female brought to the Emergency Department by her neighbor. She has a history of asthma since childhood with multiple emergency visits within the last year. She appears to be in respiratory distress, struggling to breathe. She is unable to speak other than simple one-word statements. An infusion of normal saline has been started at a keep-open rate.

PT-2 A 52-year-old patient has just arrived in the Emergency Department with complaints of severe abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting over the last few days. His abdomen is distended. He has poor skin turgor and dry mucous membranes. He has not urinated since yesterday. He has felt "dizzy" and "weak" all evening. He thought it might be the flu, but decided to come in because the stomach pains were getting worse. He has signed informed consent for treatment and labs have been drawn.

PT 3-Situation: Mrs. Morrow is an obese, 80-year-old white female who developed a venous stasis ulcer on her right medial malleolus while still living at home. She moved into our skilled nursing home care facility 3 days ago. The current plan of care is focused on promoting wound healing, improving venous return, and preventing skin breakdown.

Background: Mrs. Morrow has a past medical history of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), chronic venous insufficiency, and deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Peripheral arterial disease is ruled out by duplex ultrasound. Her daughter had her admitted to this skilled nursing home care facility due to concern for her safety with impaired mobility, an unhealthy diet, and inability to adequately care for herself at home.

Assessment: Mrs. Morrow is alert and oriented, but sometimes forgetful of recent events. Vital signs have been within normal limits and are performed weekly. Results from yesterday's labs are in the chart. She is on a regular diet with nutritional supplement and has been eating the majority of her meals since admission. She requires assistance with positioning in bed and assistance times 1 to get out of bed to the chair or ambulate. Her gait is unsteady, and she is easily fatigued. Her Braden Scale score is 16, and her skin is intact except for the venous stasis ulcer on the right medial malleolus. She has brown hyperpigmentation on both lower legs with +2 edema. The venous stasis ulcer is covered with a hydrocolloid dressing, which is due to be changed. In preparation for her dressing change, she was medicated for pain half an hour ago.
