The pressure is intensifying on industry to address its carbon footprint, a movement driven by consumers, suppliers, and increasingly stringent legislation such as the European Green Deal, the Paris Agreement, and UN SDG's. Adding to this challenge, manufacturing is still reeling from the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, which exposed weaknesses in industrial supply chains. The vulnerability that the pandemic highlighted increased the concept of resilience and accelerated the digital transformation already in progress.

These are the concepts under discussion in this session with the guest speaker, Arpita Chari, from the sustainable and virtual production group in the division of production systems at Chalmers University in Gothenburg, Sweden. Chari is in the middle of a six-year Ph.D. study researching the relationship between resilience and #sustainability in the Industry 4.0 era. The goal is to gain a greater understanding of leveraging digitalization to improve industry's ability to respond to disruptions and become more resilient. This objective is to understand the different risks that #manufacturing industries face today, the corresponding disruptions that take place, and how implementing industry 4.0 technologies can help build specific capabilities that positively impact sustainability.
