Manufacturing: The Challenges of Sustainability

Manufacturing is vital to the economy – creating jobs, stimulating economic growth and reducing the need for imports. However, manufacturing currently faces some tough challenges: the skills gap, rapidly changing technology, and the challenge of becoming more sustainable.

Companies throughout the UK are responding to the demand for sustainability in the products and services they provide. There is also pressure from new legislation and political policies being implemented.

Many companies also strive to become more sustainable as a key part of the values of their organisations, and the desire to leave a legacy of a more sustainable world for future generations.

However, the road to becoming more sustainable also has challenges – such as reducing carbon footprint and making their products recyclable. Industry leaders are responding by embedding a focus on sustainability right from the design stage, through to their production and supply chains.

In the latest in-depth programme from Executive TV, “Manufacturing: The Challenges of Sustainability”, the ways people and businesses are coming together and providing guidance on these issues is examined. The programme will feature ideas and insight from key industry experts.
