*UKHotViewsExtra* Sustainability in manufacturing: challenges and considerations

The manufacturing sector has not had an easy time over the past couple of years. In its Q122 manufacturing outlook survey, manufacturers organisation Make UK identified the activities and pain points of the quarter. The Spring Statement was deemed not to have gone far enough in helping the sector. And against that already challenging background, there is the 2050 Net Zero goal. 

However, what is promising is the willingness of the sector to commit to tech-enabled change, both for growth and to enable the sustainability transition. There is a discernable shift from pledges to progress, despite barriers such as the lack of data standards and reporting frameworks. Even though the manufacturing sector tends not to be a tech early adopter it is ramping up investments to meet mandatory and voluntary sustainability requirements which is creating opportunities for both manufactuers and tech suppliers.

In ‘Sustainability in manufacturing: challenges and considerations’ we provide a first pass examination of the manufacturing sustainability climate, highlighting next key steps and providing illustrative examples from IFS, Salesforce and Microsoft, of the type of developments software suppliers are undertaking to help the sector move forward.
