The round table was organised as an interactive session with the participation of representatives from the relevant UK government departments, from BCARIAPEMACavotec and key players in the port/manufacturing/utility sectors. 

Mr John Pearce, CEO of Made in Britain, made a presentation on the key metrics in addressing the environmental, social and economic challenges we face. The systemic implications of digitalising the physical reality were elaborated by Prof Gianvito Lanzolla, Professor of Strategy, Bayes Business School, Faculty of Management.

Tratos offered participants a 3D virtual tour of its manufacturing site in the UK and its products and an overview of what the company is doing to achieve sustainable development and net zero emissions targets. 

IEC MSB members had the opportunity to hear the views of the UK government, as well as the industry representatives on the important role of standardisation, which has its origin in the UK, and what the UK government is doing in terms of achieving net zero emissions.

Overall, the round table achieved its objectives and contributed to providing an enhanced panorama of future work of the IEC in terms of boosting cooperation among key players in the standardisation process for achieving net zero emissions targets.
