EGDC Deployment Guidelines – Workshop for the manufacturing sector
07 September 2023 | 11:00 - 13:00 CEST
This workshop will bring together developers, providers and buyers/users of digital solutions with the potential to enable a positive net carbon impact* for the Manufacturing sector, as well as sustainable finance representatives, sectorial experts and policy makers to gather their insights and co-create the contents of the Deployment Guidelines that will be developed by the European Green Digital Coalition (EGDC) European Parliament Pilot Project.
The Deployment Guidelines will provide recommendations for the Manufacturing sector to:
- Maximise carbon, resource and energy savings via the use of digital solutions,
- Minimise a solution’s emissions as well as other potential negative impacts on the climate,
- Define metrics and track them to understand the solutions’ impact,
- Understand other sustainability impacts of the solutions, e.g., health or social impacts.
* Digital Solutions with the potential to enable a positive net carbon impact are technologies that can help users avoid or reduce climate-harming greenhouse gas emissions, usually through a reduction or avoidance of resource use (e.g. fuel, electricity, raw materials, etc.).
