In 2008 major developments from practitioners and politicians are setting new benchmarks andmoving the region’s manufacturers towards the ultimate goal of sustainable consumption and production.Soaring fuel prices combined with increasing awareness of the need to adapt for a low-carbon future has broughtsustainability to the forefront of every manufacturer’s agenda.While sustainability and environmentalmanagement were once tick box or regulatory exercises they now drive business strategy and corporate value.In July this year the Commission announced the long awaited Action Plans for Sustainable Consumption andProduction and Sustainable Industrial Policy (SCP/SIP). The Action Plans comprise a series of proposals that aim tocombine and expand some of the current sustainability regulation. The Action Plans will have a direct andchallenging impact on the future of manufacturing in Europe.The Sustainable Manufacturing Summit Europe brings together Europe’s policy makers and business leaders toprovide both practical and strategic information to manufacturers facing sustainability challenges.Delegates will attend to hear the latest practical approaches through 15 corporate case studies on:? Innovative environmental strategy and management?Manufacturer renewable energy strategies, energy eSciency and water management? Product life cycle analysis? Product eco and energy labelling?Manufacturing design for “reduce, reuse, recycle”? The possibilities of industrial symbiosis? SME case studiesPlus regulatory update and insight including:?Update on the SCP/SIP Action Plans - will these strengthen or complicate European environmental legislation,what is the timescale for implementation??Does the Commission’s vision for sustainable consumption and production match that of Europe’s Manufacturers?? The possibility of life cycle analysis as a regulatory benchmark?A broadened Eco-Label scheme – what this will mean for manufacturers, retailers and consumers?? The extended EuP – which new product groups to be included?? Strengthening the EMAS scheme – turning eco-management in to corporate strategy for SMEs and global corporationsEuropean Commission ReceptionDelegates of the Sustainable Manufacturing Summit are invited to attend a reception hosted by the EuropeanCommission. The aim of this networking event is for Commission’s leading sustainability civil servants to meet and discusssustainability issues with Europe’s leading companies. Location and details will be disseminated to conference attendees2008 EMAS AwardsThe EU Eco-Management and Audit Scheme (EMAS) is a management tool for companies and other organisations to evaluate,report and improve their environmental performance. As part of the SCP/IP Action Plans, the European Commission hasproposed to revise EMAS, to increase the participation of companies and reduce the administrative burden and costs,particularly for small and medium sized enterprises. The 2008 EMAS Awards take place on the evening of 20th November. Thisyear’s awards will focus energy eSciency and emissions reductions and will recognise outstanding performances in this areawithin organisations across Europe. As part of the Sustainable Manufacturing Summit delegates will hear case studies fromaward nominees and discuss the widening of the scheme and will be able to attend the 2008 EMAS award ceremony.
