HR professional cannot wait for others like production or supply chain department or the engineering team will initiate the program. It’s part of CSR and HR has to launch it now. The environmental lobby is so pervasive that organization, especially the HR department must be quick to react to consumer concerns about any aspect of their business which could be deemed unethical.
