Sustainability Transition is a Priority Among Manufacturing Execs
The question now is no longer if, or whether, manufacturing needs to work to create a cleaner, greener and more globally responsible industrial future. It’s all about the when and how it can get there in the most effective and swiftest way possible.

Manufacturing’s race to net zero and the transition to a more sustainable and regenerative circular industrial economy is demonstrably underway. But while there are an increasing number of public promises and future targets being announced every day, and some noticeable achievements so far, overall practical progress still needs to accelerate to achieve the industry’s net zero goal.
The desire to do so among the manufacturing leadership community is now powerful, clear and present. An overwhelming 87% of the senior manufacturing executives who responded to the Manufacturing Leadership Council’s (MLC) latest M4.0 Sustainability and Net Zero survey agree that the manufacturing industry has a special responsibility to society to become more sustainable and accelerate the transition to a future circular industrial economy.
