In the broadest possible sense, sustainability refers to the ability of something to maintain or "sustain" itself over time. In business and policy contexts, limits to sustainability are determined by physical and natural resources, environmental degradation, and social resources. Accordingly, sustainable policies place some emphasis on the future effect of any given policy or business practice on humans, the economy, and ecology. The concept often corresponds to the belief that without major changes to the way the planet is run, it will suffer irreparable degradation.
This year, IME South brings the advanced manufacturing community together to discover the latest insights, engineer solutions, and continually build towards a better future. From the greenhouse gas emissions generated from travel, to the sizable amount of paper, product and food waste, we recognize that our tradeshow has an impact on the environment.
This is where we start, one step at a time.
