MESA Smart Manufacturing Community: Smart Connected Supply Chain-The Ever-Increasing Importance of Sustainability/Responsible Manufacturing

Wednesday, March 2, 2022 (11:00 AM - 12:00 PM) (EST)

Description

Come share your experiences, stories, questions, and what you have learned in a safe, non-commercial environment. We seek to understand the state-of-the market, understand what companies have done that has or has not worked, documenting questions that MESA and the community can help answer. Overall, the goal is to accelerate each participant’s learning and progress toward Smart Manufacturing. 

Topic: The Ever-Increasing Importance of Sustainability/Responsible Manufacturing

Responsible manufacturing, often scoped as Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG), goes well beyond traditional notions of green or sustainability. How can we help to accelerate progress in our companies and industries?

  • Since ESG is about more than a path to Net Zero, what is the scope of this need? 
  • How do we ensure the conversation is broad enough?
  • How can we truly make our operations more responsible? What is the role of Technology? Of business change? 
  • What is preventing manufacturers from fully embracing responsible/sustainable manufacturing initiatives?
  • Is this the year companies get beyond talking to accelerate into concrete action? 

Join Thomas Nall, Global Industry Director of Manufacturing, from Community sponsor Avanade, as he shows us the scope and shares Avanade's experiences of larger visions and sustainability impacts to spur our thinking, learning and discussion.
