Summary
The aim of the conference was to produce
the world's first major conference focused exclusively on 'Sustainable
Services & Systems' (3S). The event provided leading-edge business
practice and academic thinking in relation to 3S methodologies,
strategies and management approaches, including a range of case
studies. The conference included papers from invited speakers, as
well as refereed papers from academic and business people. In additon,
there was a series of themed interactive workshops designed to build
on trends and issues developed within the conference. The event
was both informative and thought-provoking and aimed to stimulate
new ideas for businesses and researchers. The conference was part
of an ongoing process to extend research and thinking in 'Sustainable
Services & Systems'.
These pages are intended to give background
information about the conference and systainable services &
systems (3S). The conference proceedings are also available. Please
contact Russ White or
Martin Charter for information
on how to obtain a copy.

Sustainable Services & Systems (3S)
To move towards sustainability will require
new ideas and new thinking. This will mean that companies need to move
beyond eco-efficient products and processes towards 'triple bottom line'
answers. Innovative solutions are required that significantly reduce energy
and resource consumption. However, approaches that enable Sustainable
Consumption will be a feature of more sustainable solutions. A key opportunity
may come from the development of Sustainable Service Systems (3S) that
focus on both function and system level innovations. However, the sustainability
and business benefits of shifts towards 3S, Product Service Systems (PSS)
and eco-efficient sevices are still uncertain and under researched.
Sustainable Services &
Systems (3s): on-going learning partnership
Delft Universtiy
of Technology, Design for Sustainability programme, in association with
The Centre for Sustainable Design, are initiating a process to explore
methodological development and business opportunities arising from 3S
and Product Service Systems (PSS). This process will incorporate an online
discussion group and face to face (f2f) workshops/conferences.

group. Please add your thoughts and ideas to help move the discussion
forward. Key trends resulting from the dialogue will act as an input into
TSPD6. Conclusions from workshops at TSPD6 will be added to the online
discussion groups to enable continuous learning.
Background information
CfSD has prepared a series of links to exisiting
reports and cases on 3S. In
addition, a series of sites have been identified that a)
provide information on future scenarios and b) highlight
scenario-building techniques.
