Supporting the Supply Chain with Sustainable Innovation
Last week, Tim Flood and Richard Hall represented Pd-m at the West Yorkshire Supply Chain Showcase in Leeds. The event brought together industry leaders, SMEs, and key stakeholders to explore how innovation, particularly in decarbonising supply chains, can drive both sustainability and profitability.
The primary goal of the event was to highlight the opportunities available to businesses that embrace sustainable supply chain practices. Key discussions focused on how companies can adapt their processes to meet net-zero targets, reduce carbon footprints, and improve operational efficiencies, all while boosting financial performance.
Several influential speakers, including Alan Whittaker and Steve Gregory from RTC North, discussed the importance of innovation in supply chains, showcasing how local businesses can leverage technology and collaboration to meet sustainability goals. The event also featured discussions on the UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF) and its support for supply chain decarbonisation initiatives, particularly in industries where environmental impact is a growing concern..
Major insights from the day included the need for businesses to:
Integrate sustainability at every stage of the supply chain to meet growing regulatory and market demands.
Collaborate with SMEs and regional partners to drive innovation in low-carbon technologies.
Leverage government funding and programs such as Innovate UK and the UKSPF to support sustainable transitions.
We were pleased to exhibit at the event and demonstrate Pd-m’s capability in decarbonising supply chains through innovative product and process solutions. Our message was clear: by prioritising sustainability, businesses can increase profitability while contributing to a greener economy.
It was also a great opportunity to reconnect with colleagues and peers, including Terry McStea, James Smith, Georgia Halston, Dawn Bream, Lisa Whalley, Annette Hobson, and Glyn Selway, who share our passion for driving sustainable change across the industry.
If you’d like to learn more about how Pd-m can support your sustainability initiatives, book a meeting with us.
We look forward to continuing these important conversations and helping businesses navigate the challenges and opportunities of sustainable innovation.
