Manufacturing was one of the first industries in which major companies embraced digital technology. It is also one of the first to provide scaled proof points of automation and other techniques to help improve energy efficiency. It is a good barometer for what the corporate world, academics and politicians are increasingly calling the ‘green economy’ and sustainable business practice. Assuming the target of net zero by 2050, GSMA Intelligence estimates that 15% of the CO2 savings required in manufacturing over the 10 years to 2030 can come from mobile and digital technology.
