Are you interested in learning about how reliable life cycle assessment (LCA) data can help build a scalable foundation for supply chain decarbonization? With more stringent standards and regulations today, companies need visibility into every phase in the product life cycle. They also need actionable decarbonization strategies and the tools to identify improvement opportunities — whether in a specific supplier, a supplied product or material or some other area. LCA data, emission factors and product carbon footprint (PCF) data can help transform what can feel like an overwhelming set of requirements into an opportunity for businesses to shine.

Sphera’s 2024 Process Safety Report is available now! The report reveals that adoption of technology to prevent major accident hazards and human factors are top challenges in process safety. Despite advances in available technology that bridge the gap between safety intent and achievement, about two-thirds (66%) of companies still cited disparities between process safety goals and reality, which has remained virtually unchanged since the first edition of the Process Safety Report nine years ago. Paul Marushka, Sphera’s CEO and president said, “Our newest Process Safety Report shows that experienced personnel are exiting the industry, aging facilities are increasing the likelihood of something going wrong — such as incidents with facilities, equipment or people — and visibility into potential hazardous incidents continues to be limited for many organizations that have not adopted proven digital capabilities. On the bright side, we have seen increased interest from senior management who appreciate the connections between improved systems, profitability and competitiveness. The reality is that improving process safety performance helps to keep people, assets and the environment safe while also reducing costs for stakeholders.” Read the press release for key insights from the report: https://bit.ly/3NA0hYy #ProcessSafety #RiskManagement #Safety
