Sustainable, attainable?

AI empowered sustainability for the Belgian manufacturing industry.

As frontrunners in a digital avalanche, we are perhaps most aware of the impact of our data and AI-driven applications on our planet, our people ànd profits. Therefore, we understand  the rising need for green, human centred and financially viable options within companies left and right.

However, our knowledge of sustainability challenges is still in stark contrast to our technological knowledge.

Therefore, we’ve embarked on a series of interviews with sustainability officers to learn more about the challenges they face, and to use our collective knowledge to reflect on possible solutions.

Put briefly: we’re looking to learn, in order to help and share the lessons!

Our initiative

What we did and what we'll be doing

It’s clear why we focus on tackling sustainability challenges within the manufacturing industry – it’s already a huge part of their strategy! In light of reporting and improving, our data and AI expertise is for most companies the missing link. Having a technology partner that understands the stakes and speaks the same language makes the difference, and that’s why we’re on this learning path.

This series of interviews shows us the insights of various sustainability officers within the Belgian manufacturing scene and the initiatives from our main partner Microsoft. Our key learnings are yours to discover, as well as our reflection on the challenges themselves and possible solutions from our technical point of view.
Ultimately; we’re looking to learn more: we conclude our series with a round table discussion with sustainability officers and European Union legislation representatives alike. They’ll share what to expect as a manufacturer in the future, and we’ll share struggles and suggestions with the EU as well.
