Over the past years, sustainability has become a permanent design parameter for industrial operations. Driven by regulation, energy volatility, and stakeholder expectations, it has gained strategic importance. At the same time, cost efficiency has always remained central to operational decision-making. Today, COOs operate in an environment shaped by geopolitical uncertainty, supply-chain volatility, and increasing cost pressure. Yet in parallel, technological progress in sustainability continues at pace. The cost of renewable energy generation is declining, digital and energy-intelligent technologies are maturing, and regulatory frameworks continue to advance. 

These dynamics are not slowing down. They are changing the economic logic of industrial production. For factories, this offers major opportunities - from creating more sustainable products to generating new business value. Whether companies are optimizing existing plants (brownfield) or building new ones (greenfield), the core of a visionary, sustainable factory needs to be a CLEANfield factory.

To explore these themes further, our session will feature a thoughtfully curated agenda, including:
 

• Welcome & Introduction round
  Christian Böhler, Partner & Co-head Sustainable Operations and Supply Chains, Roland Berger
• Impulse Speech & Q&A 'CLEANfield Factory'
  Lasse Adler, Principal Operations, Roland Berger
• Guest Impulse Speech: Wilo 
  Claudia Brasse, Group Director Sustainability & HSE
  Olaf Kuhnt, Group Vice President Location Management
  Yasin Uysal, Head of Holistic Improvement

We invite you to join this insightful discussion to share perspectives and collaborate on actionable steps for shaping the factories of tomorrow. Your contributions will be valuable, and we look forward to your participation!

Best regards,

Christian Böhler, Partner, Operations
