🌱 Together for a sustainable future! 🌱 Automotive Excellence Südtirol (AES) is an industry-driven innovation network that was founded to pave the way for a sustainable transformation. With the combined forces of regional companies and the Freie Universität Bozen, we are committed to a regenerative future. A key lever for change is the reduction of CO2 emissions - and industry can play a key role here. In collaboration with Prof. Erwin Rauch and his endowed professorship “Sustainable Manufacturing”, we are looking for solutions to make industrial processes climate-neutral and future-proof. 💡 The challenge is clear: we can only find solutions for a sustainable future by working together and acting consistently. 💡 That's why our motto is: Let's get IN MOTION together! 🚀 #Nachhaltigkeit #Innovation #Zukunftsskills #AutomotiveExcellence #CO2Reduktion 

Are you interested in a circular economy? If so, our new article can make your day! Silvia Lisi Michele Grimaldi Marco Greco In this study, we first examined the relationship between different types of inter-organisational collaboration and specific circular economy (CE) initiatives in the automotive sector. We analysed this relationship through a content analysis of 73 non-financial reports disseminated by the world's largest automakers. This article shows that focal firms primarily leverage inter-organisational collaboration with suppliers to implement CE initiatives, mainly recycling and reducing initiatives. Focal firms relatively often collaborate with multiple actors and customers to implement CE initiatives, particularly recycling initiatives. Of note, collaboration with universities and research institutes plays a minor role in CE initiatives, assuming only a relatively higher relevance in CE initiatives with the highest degree of circularity. Second, we developed a novel analytical framework to deal with the relationship between inter-organisational collaboration and CE. The analytical framework represents a valid tool for increasing the specificity of future research about the relationship between inter-organisational collaboration and CE initiatives.

🌱💡I’m looking forward to joining the panel next Tuesday and discussing the opportunities of #circularity for European competitiveness with the Ellen MacArthur Foundation and JLR! Very curious what healthcare and automotive technologies can learn from each other in designing and implementing circular business models. I‘m also looking for good ideas what the EU Circular Economy Act can do to support different sectors in their circular journeys.

We're near the end... But finally, closing reflections on #SustainablePackagingSummit2024. Bruno Van Gompel frames it with five questions (and answers!): 1. Are we going to lose momentum? No – you could have expected that there would be pushback on targets; in fact, what happened is the opposite: for example, Francesca Stevens from EUROPEN strongly challenging us and the Commission to keep on track. 2. Will sustainability drive your competitive advantage? Looking at the many innovations presented, yes – as illustrated by Virginie Helias from Procter & Gamble in her keynote speech with the concept of ‘Irresistible superiority’. 3. Are we ready to transform regulatory requirements into innovations? We might have expected a lot of pushback, but again, they have been embraced. A great example Bruno gives is the CEFLEX - A Circular Economy for Flexible Packaging consortium; changing the entire business model for flexibles from the bottom up. 4. Are we ready to scale pilots into industry-wide solutions? Bruno concludes ‘yes’. 'In one session alone I counted seven pilots being scaled. Rather than calling something a pilot, why not call it ‘the first phase of a roll-out’?' 5. Are you ready to cooperate, or will you continue to work alone? 'The biggest difference this year is the number of consortiums and partnerships working together. This was maybe best illustrated by the Sustainability Awards: around one-third of the awards presented were to companies working in tandem to come up with solutions.' We'd like to thank each and every person for coming along and participating, and we look forward to welcoming you again next year. Let's keep moving forward.

Skånes Industridag - Scania Industry Day organised by IUC Syd (Industrial Development Center) IUC Syd. The green transition - how to do it in practice - and is Lean still relevant - was the theme of the day. And yes - Lean is more relevant than ever! An excellent tool, and starting point, to become extremely resource efficient, re- and up-skill both people and processes, to start the journey towards net zero, and new, and better, more resilient businesses. We got inspiring examples of how Industry organisations together with government funded projects can support Swedish companies in their transition. For example Impact Innovation and their project Net Zero Industry - Impact innovation gives hands-on support to companies and creates sharing networks. AMAB Hydraul and CEO Peter Ternerot shared their journey with Lean and how they now are sustainably growing their business. Impressive work from Roxtec Group and Leo Konradsson on how they have positive leverage from the upcoming legislations (like CSRD, CSDDD etc) and climate goals, to translate and drive into business goals, saving in resource efficiency - and creating new opportunities for business. When sustainability efforts are treated as part of "normal" business improvements, and not run as isolated "silo" activities, you get the commitment and open up for new innovative ideas in the whole organisation. Hopeful to see that companies and organisations have no doubt about that the future has to be green - when politicians stop and hesitate - the movement is already ongoing! Inspiring day together with ex-colleague & friend Stefan Månsson. #LeanIsGreen #greentransition #innovationimpact #sustainabledevelopment
