Sustainability and decarbonisation: how can the EU’s industrial coverage support industry’s efforts?

Ahead of its Annual Meeting and Joint Conference with CEIR and Pneurop in Brussels this May, Europump president Vanni Vignoli appears at the EU’s roadmap for industrial help.
Vanni Vignoli, president of Europump.
Following its announcements of 5 May 2021 updating the New Industrial Strategy proposed in 2020, the European Commission has additional indicated that it will rely fairly heavily on trade to deliver on the major challenges faced by our economies and societies in Europe. This is especially the case in relation to sustainability, digital transformation, and world competitiveness, in addition to the necessity to overcome the crisis provoked by the Covid-19 pandemic. The EU Recovery and Resilience Plan launched in Spring 2021 is basically building on the aptitude of European industry to design and produce the constructing blocks of the dual green and digital transition. At the same time, the EU is shaping a dense regulatory framework that does not always support the freedom and suppleness wanted for firms to grow and compete globally.
The European expertise industries, and specifically our pumps, compressors, faucets and valves sectors, have for a very lengthy time thought of the enhancement of their international competitiveness within the challenges of societal and environmental challenges, notably by contributing to the preparation of vitality effectivity and ecolabel regulations. In parallel, digitalisation has offered increased opportunities and introduced new challenges, including debates on the suitable regulatory level (sharing of commercial data, synthetic intelligence, cybersecurity, etc).
These developments, amidst ever extra fierce international competitors, require that public authorities and business in the EU work more and more extra closely to design and deploy methods that reinforce our competitiveness and our contribution to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This would be the subject of the initial debate kicking off our Joint EU Policy Conference, which can convey together key coverage makers from the three EU coverage institutions in control of the Industrial Strategy and three Executives representing and illustrating the achievements loved, and challenges nonetheless confronted, by these three key sectors of trade.
Specific Technical and Policy Issues
As the regulatory panorama throughout Europe, and indeed the entire world, becomes ever more advanced, the burden on trade only will increase. It subsequently falls to sector particular trade organisations, corresponding to Europump, CEIR and Pneurop, to determine and advise on those technical and policy points most relevant to their respective sectors. In our explicit arena, that relates, of course, to the manufacture, distribution and use of pumps and all pump associated tools – an enormous and important subset of industry, given the width and breadth of pump applications.
Against this backdrop, one of the main issues when figuring out the core themes for the joint conference was to maintain a direct reference to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs). Within this focus, the three associations intend to spotlight how, together with the significance for corporations to handle technical elements impacting their daily enterprise operations, they think about the positive function of trade in addressing societal challenges. Indeed, all of the sessions could have a technical theme matching essentially the most appropriate UN SDG, and with representation from the European Commission along with technical specialists from trade and/or analysis institutes, they will each be reflective of the present legislative terrain, as it relates to pumps and pumping systems in the following key areas:
Circular Economy & Eco-design (Relevant UN Sustainable Development Goal no. 12: Responsible Consumption and Production)
Industry’s Digital Transformation and Innovation (Relevant UN Sustainable Development Goal no. 9: Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure)
The restriction of use of supplies and substances of concern (Relevant UN Sustainable Development Goal no. 6: Clean Water and Sanitation)
The regulatory and legislative panorama throughout Europe is becoming increasingly complex, and industry, in all its guises, must be conscious and prepared for what’s coming. By partaking with these trade organisations that symbolize your finest interests, you’ll have the ability to hold abreast of all of the compliance developments as they affect your corporation and the areas by which you use.
Europump’s 2022 Annual Meeting & Joint Conference will happen in Brussels on 9–11 May 2022 at the NH Collection Grand Sablon, Rue Bodenbroek – Bodenbroekstraat, 2, B-1000 Brussels, Belgium.
The full programme and registration process are available right here.
เกจวัดแรงดันไอน้ำ is the European Association of Pump Manufacturers. Established in 1960, it represents sixteen National Associations. Europump members symbolize more than 450 companies with a collective manufacturing worth of more than €10 billion and an employee base of one hundred 000 people across Europe.
