About the keynote presentation
"Charting a Sustainable Future: Carmeuse's Journey Towards Environmental Responsibility"
In this dinner presentation Brecht De Roo delves into the remarkable journey of Carmeuse, a company that has evolved from a modest family-run business in Belgium over 160 years ago, to a global leader in the lime, limestone, and mineral-based product industry. In a world where the challenges of sustainability and environmental impact are becoming increasingly pressing, Carmeuse stands as a beacon of responsibility and innovation. This keynote explores the company's steadfast commitment to sustainability and its proactive measures to significantly reduce environmental impact.
Key highlights of the presentation:
- The Imperative of Sustainability: Understanding why sustainability is not just a choice but
a necessity in today's industrial landscape. Navigating Climate and Sustainability Regulations: Insights into how global regulations
are shaping the future of industrial companies and the strategic responses required.- Carmeuse’s Sustainability Implementation: A deep dive into the specific strategies and
initiatives undertaken by Carmeuse to foster sustainable production, including an ambitious
goal to reduce both process as well as combustion CO2 emissions by 2030.
- The Intersection of Sustainability and Asset Management: An exploration of how
sustainability initiatives impact maintenance and asset management and vice versa, redefining
operational excellence in the process.
Carmeuse's journey is a testament to the power of innovation and commitment in addressing the environmental challenges of our time.
By attending you will not only learn all about their journey, but also gain valuable insights on sustainability strategies that can also be applied in your industry.
