Whitepaper aims to accelerate manufacturers’ journey to net zero

Made Smarter has launched a whitepaper to help SME manufacturers accelerate their net zero plans.

Decarbonisation through Digitalisation: manufacturing made smarter and greener with technology’ (bit.ly/MSDtD) is a practical guide to industry’s biggest challenge and opportunity.

The free-to-download document from the government-backed and industry-led technology adoption programme, aims to simplify a complex and fast-evolving topic by demystifying some of the terminology and analysing the latest research.

Crucially, the whitepaper offers insights about how a variety of technologies enable manufacturing and engineering businesses to make things smarter and greener, while powering growth and creating new highly skilled jobs.

The whitepaper showcases makers who have started their decarbonisation journeys with Made Smarter, including Crystal Doors, Fylde Fresh and Fabulous, and The Cumbria Clock Company.

It also signposts manufacturers to other initiatives, including Race to Zero, a campaign led by the United Nations, and the SME Climate Hub, a non-profit global initiative that empowers companies with tips and tools, including its Business Carbon Calculator.
