Also, well-known Croatian companies will present case studies of their transformations, and optimizations in LEAN and Green solutions.

Better numbers can be achieved precisely through the green industry!
Green industry, as well as a socially responsible business, are concepts that in recent years extend through many projects, strategies of companies, the economies of individual countries, and also of the global economy. More and more companies understand and accept the importance of implementing a green way of thinking and adapting their processes to the new way of doing business.
Increased awareness and continued education about global warming, climate change, and the impending depletion and scarcity of important natural resources have created a significant level of awareness and demand for the green industry.
Only when the concept of green industry rises and moves away from mere theorizing or using it for PR purposes of the company and is implemented purposefully and meaningfully, one of the great benefits is reached - the concrete optimization of the entire business.
Studies have shown that the performance of green innovations, both as products and processes, is positively correlated with a corporate competitive advantage, i.e. the company's economic goals.
"Industry greening" is a method that achieves and promotes long-term sustainable economic growth, systematic improvement of industrial production as a whole, and more resource-efficient productivity of companies.
Seen from a macro level, a direct consequence of the implementation of the green way of doing business is the sustainability of the economy and the preservation of the planet.
Seen from a micro level, green business truly CAN improve any company, provide savings and make the entire business more economical.

Concrete solutions and strategic approaches.
How green methodologies, ideas, and processes can directly affect savings, economy, sustainability and strategic growth of the company are the topics that will be covered by our speakers, the biggest experts and scientists in this field.
