On 23 April, we participated in the #ProcurementSummitESG2024, an event in which all the companies present shared their best practices and initiatives to achieve the decarbonization of the supply chain, a challenging and key task to ensure that our companies have a positive impact in environmental, social and governance terms. It was an honor to be part of this experience and to represent Antolin as a speaker 🚀✨ A warm thank you to Grupo CPOnet for giving us the opportunity to talk about #SustainableandResponsibleProcurement with Scope 3 as the protagonist. Together with my colleague, Beatriz Vallejo, we launched three clear messages, reflected in our project with Persiskin to bring to the automotive market a truly sustainable covering from surplus persimmon harvest 🍑↗🚘 1 - As the world advances and business grows, so do the options for mitigating the adverse environmental and socio-economic effects of industrial activity. 📗 2- Commitment to the Sustainable Development Goals requires a plan of action to ensure that business has a positive impact on the planet. 🌍 3- The supply chain has a direct impact on the footprint of all industrial activity, and the alliance with suppliers and key stakeholders to find solutions to reduce this footprint is crucial to achieving common goals. ⛓🌿 I was very grateful to share presentations with great colleagues and partners from companies committed to Scope 3 and carbon footprint reduction.

What is important for companies in terms of sustainability in 2024? 🌱 Sustainability is fueled by high levels of trustworthiness and solid implementation. No case resembles any other. The purposes, specializations, sizes, and formats of the individual companies are too different. The schedules for reaching their strategic targets also vary. What can be done promptly and in visible ways? What creative and attractive forms can sustainable action in business and industry take? Porsche Consulting Magazine’s editorial team surveyed managers of 16 companies from a wide range of industries to find out their most important plans and goals for the year 2024: KfW; Privatbrauerei ERDINGER Weißbräu Werner Brombach GmbH; JENOPTIK; Commerzbank AG; GOLDBECK; Riverty; Alstom; WeberHaus; Webasto Group; CeramTec – Die Keramik-Experten; Helaba; Duravit AG; edding AG ; traceless materials; Ten Brinke; and Mr. Wash.

As a leader in the coatings industry, Kansai Paint not only faced these challenges head-on but also harnessed them as catalysts for growth and innovation.

These factors, coupled with the specific challenges of the building material and construction industry, such as sustainability concerns and environmental impact, necessitated a strategic pivot in our approach. Recognizing these challenges, Kansai Paint embarked on a multifaceted strategy. Our focus was not just on overcoming immediate hurdles but on redefining our role in the broader ecosystem. We intensified our commitment to environmental stewardship, understanding that protecting our planet is as crucial as safeguarding properties and assets. This commitment was reflected in our R&D efforts, leading to more sustainable, eco-friendly product lines that meet the evolving demands of our conscious consumers. Our journey through 2023 was also a testament to the power of innovation and adaptability. By embracing digital transformation, we enhanced our operational efficiencies and customer engagement strategies. Upskilling and continuous learning became cornerstones of our organizational culture, enabling us to stay ahead in a rapidly evolving market.

How can you effectively keep up with the ever-changing regulations, standards, stakeholders, and KPIs as well as the growing amount of available information on circular economy and sustainability? ♻️🌍 A question that all players in the supply chain are nowadays asking themselves. At the BMW Group Supplier Experience Day in Munich, we presented our Circular Economy Radar, a concept developed with the Catena-X initiative. The growing number of sustainability-related requirements worldwide presents companies with an increasing challenge when it comes to identifying and interpreting the information relevant to them. The Circular Economy Radar is a concept to make global regulatory requirements, standards and norms, initiatives, and associations, as well as performance indicators and reportings related to circularity and sustainability transparent for organizations in the automotive value chain. As Christian Neumann, Global Head of Sustainability at Siemens Advanta Consulting explains: “Designed as a platform solution, the Circular Economy Radar offers the opportunity for industrial companies, research institutions, standardization bodies and legislators to exchange information easily and securely. In this way, it enables efficient compliance with regulations, transparency and competitive advantages.” If you're interested in joining the approach and shaping the stage of the solution, get in touch now or download more information here: https://sie.ag/kCpxm #SiemensAdvanta #SiemensAdvantaConsulting #CircularEconomy #Sustainability
