In Turbulent Times, Embed Sustainability: Manufacturing for 2023 and Beyond

When dealing with skyrocketing inflation, rising input costs and supply disruptions, finding the space to prioritise sustainability can be tough. But positive end-to-end ESG is not an add-on in manufacturing now: more than half of consumers say that the environmental practices of a company have a major impact when choosing to buy. That means building operations that are sustainable, as well as transparent, flexible and robust. So how do you do that?

Seeing the big picture

You have to spin an increasing number of plates, both commercial and regulatory. How do you get the best view of your vulnerabilities, focus on your risks, understand your exposure, and see what you need to see when you need to see it?

Aligning data with the vision

In this high-inflation environment, manufacturers must keep a closer eye on input costs and manage margins more carefully. Being data-driven is a mindset, not just a tech solution, and your sustainability goals need to run throughout the organisation. How do you align your vision with your data so that you’re in the driving seat to boost profitability?

Embedding ESG through the tech

Be it sustainability metrics embedded in product design, CX strategy, or planning, process and risk mitigation, everyone needs to be facing in the same direction. How can connected operations help you break down silos, get key players on board and ensure all your people are focused on delivering a secure and sustainable supply chain culture?
