Make a clear description of the current situation, the desired situation and the identified gapsreasons for making changes or improvements.

Our company's current situation is:

• GBRMotors produces several different vehicles, thus contributing to a higher level of pollution.
• The production involves high levels of accumulation of waste in the environmentally friendly industries.
• The chemicals involved in painting the vehicles increase the emission in the atmosphere of harmful CFCs.
• Different minerals are extracted from the environment, thus reducing natural resources
• Our company emits CO2 in the environment, which contributes to global warming and environmental imbalances.
• A lot of rubber is wasted and dumped in the external environment, as rubber does not easily degrade the soil pollution.
• Plastic is also used in the production of cars and residual plastics, which adds to the pollution levels, in the environment.
• Harmful gasses are released into the atmosphere, increasing environmental air pollution.

GBRMotors wants to reach a situation where the two wheels are manufactured without emitting any damaging gasses or disposing of waste in the environment. Changes are important so that the environment is safe and that our company is also protected from violations of several environmental acts. The aim is to start with certain sustainability practices and to make our actions environmentally friendly.
