Introduction to sustainability

Manufacturing a greener future – taster sessions

Scotland aims to reach net-zero emissions by 2045 but we’ll need to see a dramatic shift in consumer needs and industrial methodology to get there.

Join us as we introduce our series of free, self-directed sustainability courses from the NMIS Manufacturing Skills Academy, designed to help small and medium sized manufacturing businesses navigate their journey to net-zero.

We’ll introduce the importance of sustainability in a digital manufacturing future and how it will affect you and your business. You’ll also learn about the tools available to support your sustainability journey.

Introduction to sustainability

Ever heard the term net-zero and wondered what it means, how it can be achieved, or whether it's even possible? You're not the only one! This webinar will explore the term's origins while untangling confusion and looking at what governments, industries and businesses are doing to reach net-zero.

Perfect for manufacturers at any stage of their carbon-neutral journey, attendees will learn about other vital methodologies and initiatives central to sustainability, including the circular economy and the importance of the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

Speakers: Professor David Butler, Jennifer Griffith (Skills Project Lead - Net Zero)
