The business case for becoming a sustainable manufacturer is compelling. But knowing where to start can be tough. Watch our 30-minute webinar to discover the benefits of going green and learn practical steps to get started. Experts from both the sustainability and manufacturing fields will share essential insights to help you embark on your sustainability journey.
Watch to discover how sustainability can benefit manufacturers across five key areas:
- Cost reduction - by implementing energy and resource efficiency measures companies can significantly lower operational expenses.
- Risk management - sustainable practices can help mitigate supply chain risks. For example, renewable energy can provide greater security and stability in energy supply. Adopting circular economy strategies increases a company's control over resources, reducing its vulnerability to impacts from socio-economic or political crises.
- Recruitment and retention of staff - sustainability is increasingly important to employees - especially younger generations. 71% of employees believe environmentally sustainable companies are "more attractive employers", according to a 2021 study.
- Regulatory compliance and preparedness - research by ESG Book Global demonstrates that sustainability regulations have increased by 155% in the last 10 years. Staying ahead of compliance requirements prevents companies from becoming overwhelmed with regulations and avoids potential fines or penalties.
- Access to capital - many investors now consider sustainability performance when making investment decisions. In 2023, four-in-ten British SMEs told Rimm Sustainability that having a strong sustainability approach can help to attract investment.
