For the first time, the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.zuehlke.com\/de\/sustainability-circle\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-entity-substitution=\"canonical\" data-entity-type=\"node\" data-entity-uuid=\"d5430c48-c55b-4b45-8cb6-f6d33b513337\">Sustainability Circle<\/a>\u00a0met simultaneously in Germany, Switzerland, and Austria to hold \u2018Regional Circles\u2019. Why? Because together with our clients and partners, we believe that collaboration is key for addressing the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/world.zuehlke.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">major challenge of our time \u2013 sustainability.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The focus of this regional gathering was\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.zuehlke.com\/en\/insights\/sustainability-guide-a-five-step-path-to-circularity-for-the-industrial-sector\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-entity-substitution=\"canonical\" data-entity-type=\"node\" data-entity-uuid=\"61af0c3c-5f2a-47f5-bb68-f4a41e4caa07\">circular economy<\/a>, an essential paradigm shift in how we produce, consume, and manage resources. It\u2019s a philosophy rooted in the belief that our planet&#8217;s finite resources must be managed responsibly, ensuring their longevity for generations to come. At the core of this belief lies the understanding that sustainability cannot be achieved in isolation, as it requires collective action and shared learning.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s precisely why we organised this event \u2013 to provide a platform for meaningful dialogue, knowledge exchange, and collaborative action. Our goal is to bring together companies, experts, and sustainability enthusiasts from different backgrounds and regions to accelerate the sustainable transformation our world needs.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>1 Align sustainability strategy with company values for credible sustainability efforts<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"full-bleed-fix -text-module\">\n<div class=\"text-module\">\n<div class=\"content text-content\">\n<p>The traditional focus on maximising shareholder value is evolving towards a stakeholder perspective, where companies are increasingly embracing the triple bottom line \u2013 profit, people, and planet (3P). This shift reflects a broader recognition that success is not only measured by financial gains.<\/p>\n<p>This sentiment was highlighted by V-ZUG\u2019s Head of Sustainability Marcel Niederberger, who emphasised, \u2018not only profit is important for our company\u2019. For V-ZUG, this paradigm shift towards the 3P concept feels natural. With a longstanding focus on product longevity, the company\u2019s commitment to sustainability aligns with its core values. By embracing the 3P framework, companies can authentically connect their DNA to the dimensions of planet and people, effectively communicating their sustainability efforts.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>2 Explore innovative business models for sustainability<\/h3>\n<p>In pursuit of sustainability it\u2019s important to innovate business models, with the prime example being the \u2018Product as a Service\u2019 (PaaS) model. This approach involves keeping ownership and maintenance of the asset, which not only reduces misuse of the product but also offers increased performance and reliability to customers. Under this model, customers enjoy simplified business operations, usually at the same or even reduced price. Additionally, it\u2019s not just beneficial for customers, manufacturing companies also find adopting this model advantageous.<\/p>\n<p>By keeping ownership, companies ensure that the product is returned, allowing for evaluation for refurbishment or dismantling. This promotes resource efficiency and reduces waste. Additionally, this model enables companies to experiment with other circular economy practices. For example, they can install pre-owned components, like engines, to gain insights and knowledge on refurbishment, the learnings from which can then be applied to new products as well.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>3 Partner up for sustainable innovation<\/h3>\n<p>In the context of sustainability, collaboration is key, especially when exploring new opportunities where risks are involved. Partnerships allow companies to pool resources, share expertise, and collectively tackle challenges, driving innovation towards more sustainable practices.<\/p>\n<p>An example of this is the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.zuehlke.com\/en\/our-projects\/up-to-90-less-co2-from-plastic-labware-in-pharma-laboratories\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-entity-substitution=\"canonical\" data-entity-type=\"node\" data-entity-uuid=\"5d32eaaf-8b9d-46f5-a7c2-a5a8c71f501f\">collaboration between Z\u00fchlke and IonField Systems<\/a>, a company that specialises in plasma cleaning technology. IonField Systems has partnered with Z\u00fchlke to analyse various use cases and modules of their plasma cleaning device. The goal was to determine when reusable items become more environmentally sustainable than disposable ones through cleaning and reuse cycles. Thanks to this collaboration, IonField Systems can now show that their plasma cleaning technology reduces the CO2 footprint by 60 to 90% compared to conventional disposable materials in most use cases.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>4 Say yes to engineering innovation, but not without consumer education<\/h3>\n<p>While engineering plays a vital role in decoupling carbon emissions from resource usage, it\u2019s crucial for companies to recognise that efficiency is just one aspect of achieving sustainability. Expanding responsibilities to encompass educating customers and raising awareness about more sustainable habits and usage is equally important. This concept emphasises that sustainability efforts extend beyond the production phase and into the domain of consumer behaviour.<\/p>\n<p>Digitalisation, particularly through the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.zuehlke.com\/en\/expertise\/data-ai-solutions\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">integration of artificial intelligence<\/a>\u00a0(AI), plays a pivotal role in achieving this expanded scope of responsibility. AI enables companies to gain insights into consumer habits, monitor usage patterns, and provide personalised recommendations for more sustainable practices. By leveraging digital tools, companies can empower consumers to make informed choices and actively participate in the journey towards sustainability.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>5 Acknowledge that without data there\u2019s no sustainability improvement<\/h3>\n<p>As argued in the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.zuehlke.com\/de\/sustainability-circle\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-entity-substitution=\"canonical\" data-entity-type=\"node\" data-entity-uuid=\"d5430c48-c55b-4b45-8cb6-f6d33b513337\">Sustainability Circle<\/a>\u00a0by Z\u00fchlke\u2019s Sustainability Strategy Specialist, Ronny Hoffmann, \u2018without data, there\u2019s no sustainability improvement\u2019. This quote highlights the crucial role that data plays in driving sustainability change. It serves as a reminder that any sustainability effort needs to be supported by data. For a deep dive on how ESG data and AI can support your sustainability transformation, check out our white paper on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.zuehlke.com\/en\/insights\/beyond-esg-reporting-how-to-navigate-the-it-tool-jungle\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">navigating the ESG IT tool jungle<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>As EU regulations on eco-design, supply chain transparency, and sustainability reporting, such as the Eco-design for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR), Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDD), and the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), emerge, data collection is also becoming increasingly important.<\/p>\n<p>These regulations involve data collection along the value chain, emphasising the significance of supplier relationships. Technology, particularly certain IT tools, can assist in this process, enabling companies to derive new business value from collected data.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>6 Listen to the concerns of other companies<\/h3>\n<p>During the Regional\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.zuehlke.com\/de\/sustainability-circle\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sustainability Circle<\/a>, we uncovered common challenges faced by companies on their sustainability transformation journeys.<\/p>\n<p>One major hurdle is the pressure exerted by the upcoming sustainability regulations. Many companies struggle to understand the requirements and translate them into actionable strategies. This is further challenged by the need to obtain data from suppliers and effectively communicate sustainability efforts to customers.<\/p>\n<p>Another significant obstacle is the need for a mindset change within organisations. Sustainability can no longer be delegated to a separate department, it must be integrated into the entire workforce. Working in silos is no longer viable, as we increasingly need an incorporated approach to sustainability. Management buy-in is also crucial, along with the investment of resources to promote sustainability transformation.<\/p>\n<p>These challenges shared among the participants demonstrate the importance of companies to come together and collaborate towards sustainability. By sharing experiences and insights, companies can learn from each other&#8217;s successes and failures, ultimately driving collective progress toward a more sustainable future. Collaboration fosters innovation, accelerates learning, and ensures that sustainability efforts are both effective and impactful.<\/p>\n<p>In this sense, the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.zuehlke.com\/de\/sustainability-circle\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-entity-substitution=\"canonical\" data-entity-type=\"node\" data-entity-uuid=\"d5430c48-c55b-4b45-8cb6-f6d33b513337\">Sustainability Circle<\/a>\u00a0is more than just a gathering, it\u2019s a dynamic platform where industry leaders come together to drive sustainable change.
