12th EurOMA Sustainable Operations and Supply Chains Forum

The 12th EurOMA Sustainable Operations and Supply Chain Forum emphasizes the need to rethink the current linear global supply and demand model in favor of a regenerative approach. The forum advocates for a shift towards sustainable practices that not only reduce negative impacts but also actively contribute to a prosperous, equitable, and sustainable future. 

The urgency of this transformation is underscored by the "Triple Planetary Crisis," consisting of increased pollution, climate change, and biodiversity loss. To address these challenges, the forum calls for the adoption of circular business models, fast decarbonization, and a move away from fossil fuels. 

Furthermore, companies are encouraged to aim for NetZero and even carbon-negative operations, focusing on creating positive environmental and social impacts. This shift also requires addressing social injustices within supply chains and promoting a fairer and more inclusive society.
