Sustainability in Мanufacturing
Today, the need to adapt to sustainable practises affects all areas of our lives. Moving away from the stage of recommendation, sustainability policies have become more and more an imperative for countries, businesses and individuals.
Sustainability in present days represents a fundamental shift in the way we interact with our planet by embracing the responsibility we all have to combat climate change and social issues and to strive for a healthier, safer and more prosperous future.
The 2030 Agenda, the European Green deal and the Paris agreement, as well as numerous local legislations, represent some of the most significant initiatives which incompass the commitments of most countries around the world to join forces in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. Those agreements also represent a common realization that the thriving future of our planet lies in the hands of each and every member of the society, every business, every organization, institution or government.
With the introduction and implementation of an increasing number of legislations, programs and principles all companies are urged to look beyond their internal processes and think about their impact on the environment and society. What is more, according to the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) many larger companies will be required to report on various environmental, social and governance metrics as part of their management report, with assurance of the data being required.
Manufacturers around the world have growingly recognised the need for sustainability practices and the pivotal role they have in the shift towards cleaner and more responsible production.
