In an era where sustainability is a business expectation, food and beverage manufacturers face increasing pressure from consumers, investors, employees and other stakeholders to improve their environmental credentials.
While factory emissions may not be the primary contributor, these Scope 1 and 2 emissions remain significant, and it is crucial factories take steps to reduce their environmental impact, as well as address their Scope 3 emissions.
Major gains can be made through process and technology innovation to improve efficiency, reduce downtime, lower energy and water consumption, decrease waste, improve margins and create more sustainable operations.
The wider manufacturing facility can also play a role in reducing emissions through the use of, for example, solar photovoltaic technology.
Adopting an innovation mindset is key to ensuring the factory is best positioned to drive long-term success and remain competitive.
Sustainable Food Factory 2024 on June 12 at Nottingham Trent University will provide an unprecedented opportunity for manufacturers looking to further improve their operations and make them more sustainable.
The conference features an industry-leading program led by a line-up of low-carbon experts.
These experts will offer insights into the latest strategies and share their experiences in decarbonising food and beverage manufacturing operations through engaging presentations and interactive panel debates.
The knowledge gained will equip manufacturers with practical and applicable solutions for their operations, enabling them to make significant progress towards a low-carbon future.
Delegates will also learn how to effectively engage and motivate their staff and foster a culture of sustainability.
Employee buy-in can positively influence the operational culture, drive further decarbonisation gains and enable senior managers to address their Scope 3 emissions.
Collaboration and partnership will be key components of June’s event.
By working with the right solution partner, manufacturers can free up critical resources that can be directed towards core tasks and ensure they are leveraging the latest process and technology innovations to improve sustainable manufacturing outcomes.
Fifteen exhibitors will be on hand to share their expertise with delegates and demonstrate their competence to be a partner of choice.
