Industry is particularly challenged, as they are massive contributors to the current climate ills. After all, industry is responsible for 20% of global CO2 emissions and more than a third of global energy consumption.
Because of this, it is critical for industry to identify new opportunities for decarbonization, and innovation to reduce energy consumption while delivering the same or higher quality of products and services. When looking at global waste, only 13% is recycled, making it imperative for industry to reduce their carbon footprint and transition towards a circular economy with the efficient use and re-use of materials.
We have helped many of our current customers to become more sustainable.
Beyond, our customers are facing increasing pressure and many of their usual challenges are increasing more and more:
Cost pressure, which mandates increase in efficiency for equipment and processes
Faster innovation cycles, bringing new product ideas quickly into serial production
Quality, quality of products
Flexibility, in what and how customs produce, but also as a means to be more resilient
And on top of this, there’s now also the pressing need for more sustainability and at the same time a growing lack of skilled workforce.
Sustainability, which became a license to operate – not a nice to have!
Lack of talent, with experienced staff retiring at a massive scale and not enough people available who have necessary skills
