Lubricants Industry Events 2022
James Moorhouse, ABN Resource Director attended the recent May 2022 conference “Putting Sustainability First – What does this mean for the lubricants industry?”, organised by the United Kingdom Lubricants Association (UKLA).
Reflecting on this great event, James has shared his five key takeaways:
1) The lubricants industry remains an open, friendly and welcoming sector – everyone in the room was happy to talk and share ideas for the benefit of all.
2) Chris Hines, founder of A Grain of Sand, was inspirational and reminded us to be solutions-focused, act with urgency and pace, embrace, understand and collaborate whilst limiting mass consumerism to deliver lower emissions.
3) We need to communicate lubricants’ value better to an external audience to show we are a solution, not a problem. The additional benefit of a compelling purpose and well-communicated vision – it helps with talent attraction and retention.
4) Lubricants leaders all highlight the importance of leadership, company culture and transparency when taking a company, people and industry partners on a sustainability journey.
5) Life Cycle Analysis is tough but needed and we all need to keep sharing ideas, best practices and data. Something the UEIL Sustainability Task Force is there to help and support.
Sustainability is growing in importance as a key business driver affecting the lubricants industry and will fundamentally change how we assess the impact the lubricants industry has on the world. And whilst it was good to talk about it, the biggest takeaway of all is action! Sustainability journeys look different for people and organisations but nothing changes without action.
