How Manufacturers are Meeting ESG and Sustainability Goals in 2026

In 2026, global manufacturers are meeting Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) goals by transitioning from manual reporting to autonomous sustainability. Key strategies include: Environmental: Using Physics-based Digital Twins (e.g., Akselos) to extend asset life and MQTT-based IoT(e.g., HiveMQ) to reduce energy consumption by over 20%. Social: Deploying AI Computer Vision (e.g., SAS) and Remote Operations (e.g., ABB) to remove workers from high-risk environments. Governance: Replacing spreadsheets with Automated […]
