    Aligning Sustainability and Profitability in Manufacturing

    Lauren Dunford, CEO and Co-Founder of Guidewheel, explains how her FactoryOps platform uses clip-on sensors to provide real-time visibility into machine electricity usage, linking core operational efficiency with sustainability metrics. She outlines three key drivers for manufacturers to prioritize sustainability: gaining access to new B2B and B2C markets by meeting large retailers' scope 3 emissions requirements, increasing valuation and deal success with private equity firms that screen for ESG compliance, and preparing for upcoming SEC regulations and Inflation Reduction Act incentives. Dunford advises leaders to move beyond vague goals and adopt a data-driven strategy to quantify carbon emissions as a tangible lever for business value.
