Gaining Foundational Clarity for Strategic Sustainability
Sustainability is instigating a fundamental, structural change across the nonwovens value chain. It requires a unified response, necessitating a common understanding of global drivers and regulatory shifts.
EDANA is uniquely positioned to provide the necessary clarity. This foundational 120-minute strategic briefing is designed to establish a precise, non-negotiable baseline of knowledge, enabling cross-functional professionals to participate in their business’s sustainability initiatives.
Who this course is for
This briefing is specifically designed for professionals across the nonwovens value chain who are not sustainability specialists but whose roles are increasingly impacted by environmental mandates and market expectations.
It is ideal for
- Commercial & Marketing teams who need to confidently discuss sustainability credentials with customers and avoid greenwashing risks.
- Procurement & Operations managers who need to understand the strategic rationale behind new sourcing or process requirements.
- General management & support functions who require a clear overview of the landscape to align their departmental objectives with corporate sustainability goals.
If you need to bridge the knowledge gap between your daily responsibilities and your company’s internal sustainability experts, this course is your starting point.
