Professor Steve Evans is Director of Research in Industrial Sustainability at the University of Cambridge. After 12 years in industry, Steve moved to academia and pioneered many new topics in sustainable business models, eco-efficiency and other topics within industrial sustainability. His research asks ‘how to deliver a sustainable industrial system at the speed and scale that the planet needs?’ and is conducted with leading practitioners such as Toyota, Chanel, Airbus and hundreds of other companies.

His presentation in Wrocław Tech will explore the toughest challenge in sustainability – how will we make industry sustainable? The world’s factories deliver the massive quantity of everyday goods that shape our lives, but they also deliver massive pollution, including global warming. The problem is massive and urgent, so how can industry respond? This presentation will discuss what can be done next week, next year and next decades.
