Building climate resilience for manufacturing

Ever since the start of the Industrial Revolution, large-scale operations have boosted living standards and have enabled society to expand and progress faster than ever in history. However, this has also contributed to unintended consequences for our environment, leading to climate change. The industrial sector is responsible for approximately 21% of all carbon emissions worldwide, making mitigating the rising global temperature caused by carbon emissions an issue that needs to be addressed by the industrial sector: a window of opportunity to adapt operations and help reduce the disruption of climate change. Environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues are now on every organisation’s radar – but the need to align ESG with financial performance poses an urgent challenge for the industrial sector in particular. Industrial companies need to transform their strategies to continue providing the resources and goods needed in the modern day, while also reducing risk and prioritising sustainability. The industrial sector has always been at the forefront of innovation, and this is where the sector’s adaptability, ingenuity and impact come together, with support from RSK, to create and enhance strategy and develop more sustainable products and services.

At RSK, we know the role we can and must play in tackling the environmental, economic and social challenges we face.
