Sustainability experts in the resources and manufacturing sector

The resources and manufacturing sector must continue to innovate or it will risk being be left behind

The spotlight has been on high energy and raw material users for many years. Emissions reporting, associated taxation, investor and customer requests for more transparency and improved environmental performance – businesses in heavy industry have been responding to these requirements for decades. Afterall, around 30% of global emissions come from extraction, manufacturing, chemicals and cement industries.

Where other sectors are just waking up to the imperative of the climate emergency and looking to start their sustainability journey from a first baseline; manufacturers and resource intensive industries have already squeezed the everyday environmental savings from their businesses. The bar is simply higher and innovation critical for these businesses to continue their sustainability journeys.

Translating Scope 3 emissions for the Chemical sector

Make your sustainability journey stand out

To successfully compete and withstand pressure from internal and external stakeholders on sustainability issues, the largest industrial business must go well beyond the boundaries of their own direct operations. They must take on the sustainability challenge of their upstream and downstream value chains as their own. They must show meaningful results, turning carbon sources into carbon sinks. On the worlds stage, those responsible for the most emissions will need to embed truly sustainability business practice into their operations, products and business mission to succeed.

Benefits in use reporting

We need more businesses working to push the boundary and develop large scale low carbon solutions. Many manufacturers have already pivoted their products to have intrinsic benefits to the environment, using bio-based raw materials that act as carbon sinks, or producing products that have an environmental benefit in their use.

Calculating the benefits of products after they leave your gate is hard, and communicating this clearly to stakeholders even harder. Lean on our experts to help you make the case for your latest planet positive products and innovations.
