SISVI Final Seminar 3 October 2018
Project wrap-up and summary of the day - some reflections
Kjell Øren
SISVI has been an impressive project, both related to content and involvement. It fulfills the true nature of a KPN project – contributing to progressing the sustainability theme both in academia and in industry.
Some reflections and points of view, based on presentations and discussions:
1. License to operate - beyond regulations Industry has developed a high level of awareness of the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) aspects. The academic structuring of the themes has helped companies to identify specific issues that are especially relevant for them.
2. Life cycle perspective well established The value chain approach and LCAs are important perspectives and tools, now much used by business and industry. The next step is emerging – taking a systems view on both operations and strategy. The industrial ecology concept covers the basic ideas, although circular economy has become the new slogan. Linking across the traditional value chains deserves special attention.
3. Case study approach – real challenges The company cases have demonstrated the value of working with real problems. Companies have their specific challenges, addressing them both from a theoretical and practical perspective add insight and help towards implementation.
4. Green competitiveness – on a good track, but still a way to go Business action on sustainability depends on
- the markets – formed by customers’ preferences, demands and willingness to pay the extra cost
- the technology – the ability to bring new and better solutions - the regulatory framework/policy instruments, set by authorities at global,
regional and national levels
These three factors – market, technology and policy/policy instruments – and the combination of them – are keys to competitiveness and business action for sustainability. In the future follow up, more attention should given to policy instruments.
5. Public/private partnerships The nature of the problems to be solved calls for public-private partnerships at a scale we never have seen so far. We need extended public/private partnerships to accelerate innovation and implementation in different sectors. Public procurement is one of the instruments, CO2 fund for commercial transport another one.
