As sustainable transformation continues to shape the manufacturing world, more organizations than ever are acknowledging the need to attract diverse talent. \u202f\u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>One organization leading the sustainable change is steel manufacturer, Tata Steel. Steel plays a vital role in supporting our society to continue to grow and flourish. In fact, so much of it is produced that ensuring production processes are as sustainable as possible is a huge part of the industry\u2019s efforts to reducing its impact on the environment.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>It is an imperative that Tata Steel are keen to champion. The company\u2019s Netherlands-based steelmaking plant was recently <\/span>hailed as a \u2018factory of the future\u2019 by the World Economic Forum (WEF)<\/span><\/a>. The company\u2019s IJmuiden plant was dubbed a \u2018Manufacturing Lighthouse\u2019, showing the Tata Steel\u2019s commitment to aiding the learning and adoption of technologies by other companies. \u202f\u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>In the second of our <\/span>Manufacturing the Future<\/span><\/i> video series, Emma McKay, Director of IT Enterprise Architecture at Tata Steel talks about how her company has driven change in the industry \u2013 and embraced diverse talent to power that transformation. \u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>Attracting new talent during a transformative time<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

\u00a0<\/span>Emma, who has worked at Tata Steel for almost 14 years and for several years before that at other manufacturers, strongly believes diversity is vital for organizations to grow and evolve. Having witnessed a lack of diversity in manufacturing for years, she believes we now stand on the brink of exciting changes \u2013 and that there couldn\u2019t be a better time to consider adding new talent to the industry.\u202f\u202f\u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>Tata Steel is currently focusing on fully eliminating its CO2 emissions, in keeping with a philosophy to minimize its environmental impact. The company wants to radically change the way it manufactures its products, aiming to eliminate its CO2 emissions by 2050. \u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Creating radical change within the industry requires a new generation of talent to come forward to shake things up and chart a new path towards a green, clean, circular future. \u201cTo do that, we need a different perspective. We need a new breed of women solution makers,\u201d says Emma.\u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
