Industrial solution providers are driving innovations, enabling their customers to be successful and impacting the environmental impacts of industrial process over a long period of time. The integration of process steps, the elimination of waste and the extension of equipment lifecycles are potentials. The processes and the technology we’re providing are reducing the environmental impact in the production chain of our customers. In parallel we’re implementing a number of functionalities to reduce the environmental impact of our processes and equipment further. Nevertheless, it remains a challenge to provide the required and correct information to our engineers to design the most environmentally friendly production equipment. What will be the impact of using Green Steel for our products, how to evaluate and balance the usage of seldom materials with all aspects of human rights and environmental benefits, just to name two examples. I would like to present and to discuss the challenges for the industry and each individual engineer to provide the required information and to enable engineers to take the right long-term decisions. Environmental impact will be terminated early in the design process for the entire lifetime of investment products. It is essential to provide the right and appropriated information already early in the design process.
