As we focus on our ESG standards, we are ensuring that Kongsberg Precision Cutting Systems continues to lead the way in responsible business practices and also inspires others to follow suit.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Based at Kongsberg PCS\u2019 production facility in Brno, Czech Republic, Kieran will ensure all manufacturing and operational processes are in accordance with relevant worldwide regulations, as well as updating and implementing the company\u2019s ESG objectives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m thrilled to join an exceptional global organization that is both a home to world-leading brands and so committed to ESG initiatives,\u201d said Kieran. \u201cWith several policies and processes already in place, my role is to review, update, formalize and synthesize all these under one umbrella.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe company has made significant strides in terms of its objectives in recent years. The new Kongsberg Ultimate is a great example of how innovation is being used to drive sustainability \u2013 both in terms of the materials used in the manufacture of the machine, as well as the accuracy with which it cuts and the materials it can handle,\u201d said Kieran. \u201cThe principle is that by using more recycled materials and less plastic to build a better machine that not only minimizes waste through its precision but that can also be used for a longer time, we can help significantly reduce emissions.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kongsberg PCS has a clearly defined commitment to reducing its environmental footprint through proactive measures in energy usage, material sourcing, waste reduction, and enhancing the recyclability of materials. \u201cAs we produce machines that we sell to other businesses, there are several aspects that we already address,\u201d said Kieran. \u201cOur Kongsberg and MultiCam cutting systems are renowned for their durability and reliability. These are key factors, as it means companies are not regularly wasting energy and resources through errors, maintenance shutdowns or having to buy new machines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOne of my first objectives is to build on our success and set aggressive new goals to reduce emissions,\u201d said Kieran. \u201cComplementing the reliability and durability, I can see that the company already makes its machines as efficient as possible. We are also dedicated to successfully removing non-renewable packaging from the supply chain completely,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In terms of governance, Kieran has been impressed by the open and transparent communication across the whole organization, and the company\u2019s impact on the wider community is clearly taken very seriously regarding \u2018Social\u2019 principles. \u201cWhile we\u2019re a global company, we are looking at how we can and do interact with our local communities,\u201d he said. \u201cWhat I find impressive is that this is a company is actively looking at ways to make a difference to its environment, to its local community and to its people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re not simply ticking a box when it comes to things like energy efficient practices, inclusion and diversity, or transparency. We are actively developing and implementing new processes to address these issues, and I am delighted to be taking responsibility for this as the company continues its exciting journey of growth.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kongsberg Precision Cutting Systems (Kongsberg PCS) has underlined its commitment to a sustainable future and its own Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) principles, with the appointment of Kieran Spencer as the company\u2019s new ESG Compliance Officer.&nbsp; Stuart Fox, CEO &amp; President of Kongsberg PCS, said that the appointment underlined how the company is striving to<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":14673,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[65],"tags":[304],"class_list":{"0":"post-14655","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-corrugated-folding-carton","8":"tag-kongsberg"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cpmirror.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14655","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cpmirror.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cpmirror.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cpmirror.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cpmirror.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=14655"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/cpmirror.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14655\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":14657,"href":"https:\/\/cpmirror.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14655\/revisions\/14657"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cpmirror.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/14673"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cpmirror.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=14655"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cpmirror.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=14655"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cpmirror.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=14655"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
