The challenges of carbon footprint reduction Cimteq, a software provider to the global wire and cable manufacturing industry, has released a new white paper titled Addressing the Challenges of Carbon Footprint Reduction. The paper – the company’s fourth to be released this year – gives readers a look at a worldwide priority, and practical advice on how manufacturers can make changes to become more sustainable. A company spokesperson said, “Reducing carbon footprint is, unsurprisingly, a priority for all nations and most, if not all, industries. This paper looks at some of the global efforts being made to reduce CO 2 emissions and focuses on the many challenges facing businesses in the wire and cable industry.”

Achieving net-zero carbon is high on the agenda, with global leaders calling for an acceleration in efforts. The rise in sea levels and the increasing likelihood of extreme weather scenarios are posing major threats around the world. Cimteq’s spokesperson continued, “As more and more manufacturers across the world endeavour to reduce their own CO 2 emissions, efforts will also be centred around entering into supply chains where sustainability is a key driver across the entire group. Carbon footprint reduction should be a collective effort between all parties.” The white paper can be downloaded from Cimteq’s website, via the “Cimteq Academy”menu. Cimteq Ltd www.cimteq.com
