STUTTGART, Germany,
April 30, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Actona
Group, a global pioneer in the furniture industry, is charting a
new course towards sustainability and is now partnering with
Makersite, an AI-enabled product lifecycle intelligence software
known for its comprehensive approach to managing product
sustainability, cost, and compliance in real-time.
The collaboration underscores Actona Group's commitment to
significantly enhancing its sustainability and business practices
across all aspects of its operations. By leveraging Makersite's
cutting-edge capabilities, Actona Group is ready to achieve
detailed insight into product-specific Scope 3 emissions, setting a
new industry standard in environmental accountability.
Actona Group recognized the dual benefits of integrating
sustainability into its operations: the ethical importance of
protecting the planet for future generations and the clear business
advantages of driving growth and fostering innovation.
As Actona Group is strictly focused on minimising its
environmental impact it has been a natural step for the company to
automate and expand its sustainability initiatives by tracking and
mitigating its supply chain emissions accurately.
To follow through with this initiative, Actona Group emphasized
the need for a robust, solution-oriented approach to streamline
data collection and analysis, thus ensuring Actona Groups
leadership in environmental stewardship within the competitive
landscape of the furniture industry.
"Partnering with Makersite represents a significant step forward
in our sustainability journey," said Jimmi
King Mortensen, President and CEO of Actona Group.
"Makersite's platform allows us to track emissions at every step of
the design process and helps us make informed, sustainable
decisions, showing a clear path to customers and suppliers of our
commitment to design and source better products."
The collaboration with Makersite enables Actona Group to further
reinforce their commitment to sustainability leadership through its
ambitious three-fold mission:
- Foster ecodesign and circularity with Life Cycle Assessment
(LCA),
- Implement sustainable production methods, including supply
chain decarbonization.
- Extend the use of recycled materials both within its product
line and across its supply chain through responsible procurement
practices.
"This partnership has proven to be particularly beneficial for
providing Actona Group with access to Makersite's automated,
verified and scalable system for Scope 3 emissions reporting," said
Neil D'Souza, CEO and Founder of
Makersite. "Our solution has enabled Actona Group to track
emissions right down to each individual purchased part and
material."
