Whether creating awareness about single-use containers, using cleaner energy sources, or the effects of climate change, sustainability has been in the news and at the top of people's minds for more than a decade.
If you attended InfoComm this year, you would have noticed that sustainability was not just a theme but a growing trend that permeated the entire show. This year, almost every manufacturer had a sustainability message, marking a significant shift in our industry's commitment.
A notable highlight was from display companies, proudly promoting their use of recycled materials and lower power consumption. Some made bold commitments to achieve net-zero emissions across some product lifecycle chains.
You didn't have to look far to see device manufacturers and solutions companies with refined sustainability messages as well. This is a good thing.
But what's even better is if the companies you purchase devices and solutions from have defined sustainability goals, this will help your company meet its environmental, social, and governance plan, or, more commonly known, ESG. Today, almost every company, large or small, has an ESG initiative or even an entire department dedicated to sustainability.
