From the RISE Series: Sustainable Cost Reduction


Why should you participate?

Executives in the manufacturing industry are currently facing a triple challenge:
✅ Rising costs (materials, energy, labour) are squeezing margins.
✅ The pressure for sustainability requires CO₂ reductions – without compromising profitability.
✅ Traditional cost-cutting measures fail because they are short-term, isolated, and unsustainable.

What if you could reduce costs and CO₂ emissions while building resilience for the future?

Join this 60-minute webinar and discover SCORE, the proven methodology that enables manufacturers to save 3–45% on their costs while achieving their sustainability goals.


What you will learn!

1️⃣ The hidden costs of ‘business as usual’

Why quick fixes (cheaper suppliers, deferred maintenance) backfire in the long run.

How inflation, regulations, and customer demands are reshaping cost reduction.

2️⃣ SCORE: The enabler for cost and CO₂ reduction

A cross-functional lifecycle approach that seeks savings from design to return.

Practical examples: How manufacturers in the electronics, mobility, and food sectors were able to save 15–30% with SCORE.

The 3-phase process (Preparation → Workshops → Implementation) to turn ideas into action.

3️⃣ Your roadmap to immediate savings

The 3 biggest challenges where SCORE delivers quick results:
​
High material/energy costs → Optimising procurement and efficiency.

Inefficient product design → Redesigning for cost and sustainability.

Lack of accountability → Using measurement sheets and PMO for progress tracking.


How to avoid obstacles (resistance, silos, data gaps) and embed cost reductions in your corporate culture.
