Northwest Europe’s industry faces a critical transition: how to combine increased energy efficiency and lower emissions while maintaining operational performance? During this masterclass at the Maintenance trade fair in Antwerp Expo, BEMAS, Mainnovation, NVDO, FVI & EMC2 will present the results of the benchmark study, showcasing inspiring examples from pioneering companies and numerous best practices already applied by industrial firms to improve energy efficiency and reduce emissions.
Experts from Mainnovation will demonstrate how the impact of sustainability efforts in asset management and maintenance management can be concretely quantified. They will show how sustainability can become a key value driver in maintenance processes for various companies.
Following the presentation of results, the research report will be officially handed over to an EU Commissioner.
