🌍 Transforming the Future of Manufacturing: Insights from eChemExpo 2024 This year at eChemExpo 2024, we were privileged to witness a riveting discussion on the future of manufacturing shaped by Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) practices. The closing keynote panel, moderated by Holli Alexander from Eastman Chemical Company, brought together industry leaders who are not just talking about change but are actively driving it. 🔹 Jayme Leita from Eastman shared their bold vision to achieve zero emissions by 2050, with significant milestones already in sight: "By 2030, we’re going to cut it by a third," he announced, noting that Eastman is halfway there. Their approach? Enhancing energy efficiency and transitioning to renewable energy sources like solar and small-scale nuclear power. 🔹 Tathagata Basu of Honeywell highlighted the intersection of digital technology and sustainability, emphasizing how Honeywell is tackling "the most hard-to-evade industry and sustainability problems" with innovative solutions that reduce carbon intensity. 🔹 Zack Steffen, from Trackonomy Systems spoke about the real-world applications of ESG principles, from improving logistic operations to achieving near-perfect delivery times, underscoring the practical impact of ESG on everyday business efficiencies. The conversation spanned the necessity of innovation in sustainability, the integration of digital technologies, and the critical role of strategic initiatives in shaping the future of manufacturing. As we look ahead, the message is clear: companies that are not integrating ESG into their core strategies today will likely not survive the stringent demands of tomorrow's marketplace. Let's keep the conversation going: 👉 What are your thoughts on the integration of ESG strategies within the manufacturing sector? 👉 How is your company preparing for these upcoming challenges? https://lnkd.in/gtzfeuB2 #eChemExpo2024 #Sustainability #Manufacturing #ESG #Innovation #FutureOfManufacturing
