How to lead the way in manufacturing sustainability

We’re moving rapidly towards a more sustainable world.

Sustainability is a non-negotiable for today’s businesses

In fact, a recent survey found that 65% UK and Netherlands business leaders cite the pandemic as the catalyst that prompted them to reshape their organisation.

Rethinking and prioritising resilience is now a major business objective – and sustainability is key.

Companies must unite their financial resources, quality of people and global reach to take action on sustainability.

But what’s the best course of action for your business?

How can manufacturers integrate sustainability, and lead the charge in sustainable business practices?

Leaders in Business Sustainability

Our partners, Dassault Systèmes, are hosting a virtual event in association with the Financial Times to help organisations understand how they can improve sustainability practices.

The Leaders in Business Sustainability event is held over three days from Tuesday 8^th to Thursday 10^th June 2021, and is free to attend online.

Discover how you can drive positive and sustainable change in your own business, the wider community, and society as a whole.

The event focuses on inspiration and actionable ideas, as participants hear the stories of the companies that are already sustainably transforming their business models, products, and people.

What is a sustainable business?

First, there are two key main principles to sustainable business practices:

1. Risk mitigation: How can you reduce the impact your organisation has on society and the environment?
2. Opportunity: How can you employ environmental, social and governance (ESG) systems that will give you a competitive advantage?

There are also three main pillars of business sustainability pioneered by Dassault:

1. Sustainable business models are helping foster more open business cultures, more agile operating procedures, and more customer-centric thinking
2. Sustainable products are putting efficiency at the heart of innovation, using visualisation and simulation to increase flexibility and speed-to-market
3. Sustainable people is emphasising the fact that learning is a lifelong responsibility and opportunity, both for employers and employees.

Begin to take concrete steps towards business sustainability, with an event designed to educate, inspire and support you as a leader.

Dassault has assembled an impressive list of speakers for the virtual event, including:

• Monika Franke (Global Head of HR at Polestar)
• Guilherme Pizzato (Head of Partnerships for Manufacturing at Nokia)
• Erik Kruse (Partner Manager to IoT Ecosystems at Ericsson)
• Frank Ludwig (Chief Transformation Officer at Jaguar Land Rover)
• Michelle Tilley (PMO & Digital Director at EDF)
