By making our products lighter, more efficient, and recyclable, we help customers reduce friction and extend service life, among other sustainability benefits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:50%\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>&#8220;We aim to decarbonize our operations by 2030 and reach net-zero emissions in the supply chain by 2050&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:25%\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, remanufacturing is not just about traceability, but the analysis of used components to assess feasibility of remanufacturing. Traditionally, the inspection was conducted entirely manually by experts. Now, people in the field can use digital tools developed on mobile platforms and embedded with SKF knowledge and AI analytics, meaning more bearings can be assessed for remanufacture-ability, and fewer will be shipped out, only to be rejected at on-site inspection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Furthermore, technology is enabling us to optimize our operations, from reducing energy consumption in our factories to minimizing environmental footprint across the supply chain. Technology, along with ecosystemic collaboration, empowers us to develop more sustainable products, optimize our operations, and help our customers achieve their own sustainability goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-vivid-cyan-blue-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-f4155d819fbb3a3bb64e3018d9105429\" id=\"h-establishing-a-tech-mindset\"><strong>ESTABLISHING A TECH MINDSET<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-can-we-encourage-more-women-into-technology\"><strong>How can we encourage more women into technology?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>We need to start early. Women must be exposed to STEM [Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics] subjects from a young age. And we need to make sure they are aware of the amazing women role models in tech for them to look up to! Scholarships, support programs, and creating a welcoming environment in schools and workplaces are all key. We also need to make sure everyone feels included and has equal opportunities. At SKF, we know that diversity and inclusion are not just nice-to-haves \u2013 they&#8217;re essential to our success. We&#8217;re taking positive steps to make sure everyone has the chance to succeed. As a female CTO, I\u2019m in a minority.

Leaders are crucial to getting everyone on board with new technology. They need to set a clear vision for how specific tech will help the organization achieve its goals and then make sure we have the budget and resources to make it happen. But it&#8217;s not just about throwing money at the problem. Leaders need to lead by example, show they are excited about new tools, and make sure everyone feels comfortable using them. We need to create a space where people feel safe to try new things and learn from their mistakes. And, let&#8217;s be honest, the pace of change is crazy these days. Leaders need to stay on top of AI and all the other new technologies that are popping up. We can&#8217;t afford to get left behind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>&#8220;Leaders need to stay on top of AI and all the other new technologies that are popping up&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>With more and more competition out there, it&#8217;s clear that organizations that can use technology effectively are going to come out on top in 2025.
