The sustainable future is here
February 2024
IT in Manufacturing
Sustainability has interwoven itself with every industry imaginable. Today, you will be hard-pressed to find a major global brand that does not discuss sustainability in its marketing deliverables. It is no longer a question of ‘if’ a company will adopt sustainable practices, but ‘when’. The adverse effects of climate change are well documented, so governments and enterprises worldwide are in full agreement on reducing carbon emissions in an optimal way.
Governments have been instrumental in introducing mandatory sustainability reporting targets for large enterprises, including carbon emissions and resource consumption. Governments have also implemented incentives for companies to switch to clean energy sources. Along with a green-friendly regulatory environment, organisations need to appeal to consumers who prefer eco-conscious brands. Together, these factors place sustainability-minded enterprises at the forefront of the market.
Enterprises will play a pivotal role in achieving a more sustainable future, and they must leverage a variety of technological innovations in order to make that future a reality.

• How are technologies facilitating sustainable enterprise operations?
• Which prevailing trends are moulding sustainable technology markets?
• What do the top-level forecasts look like for sustainable technologies and solutions?
• Are there any best practices that enterprises and technology vendors can implement today?
