e& collaborates with NEC Laboratories and Global Enabling Sustainability Initiative to improve sustainability in supply chain management

my& has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with NEC Laboratories America and the Global Enabling Sustainability Initiative (GeSI)marking an important step in promoting sustainability within its supply chain management system.

The goal of the collaboration is to develop a customized system Negotiations, Policy and Simulation Tool (NPS Simulation Tool) which will strengthen e&’s sustainable operational capabilities and support e&’s successful transformation into a global technology company.

Obaid Bokisha, Group Chief Operating Officer, e&saying,

“This collaboration demonstrates e&’s commitment to integrating sustainability into all aspects of our business. By partnering with NEC Laboratories America and GeSI, we are not only improving our supply chain management, but we are also pioneering the use of cutting-edge technologies to support our ambitious sustainability goals. “This initiative aligns perfectly with our vision of driving digital transformation while prioritizing environmental management.”

The partnership outlines a shared vision between the three parties to use the NPS simulation tool to promote sustainable practices in the e& supply chain ecosystem. This innovative initiative will set new standards in the integration of technology and sustainability.

Chris White, president of NEC Laboratories America Inc., saying,

“We are delighted to be working with e& and GeSI on this innovative project. Our NPS simulation tool, tailored to the e& supply chain, is designed to provide insights and simulations that will drive sustainability and efficiency. “This collaboration demonstrates our commitment to technological innovation in support of broader societal goals.”

The NPS simulation tool is set to revolutionize the way e& approaches sustainability in its supply chain. It will integrate data analytics and simulation techniques to provide deeper insights and enable more informed decision-making. This initiative continues e&’s drive to adopt and implement sustainable practices across its business.

Luis Neves, general director of GeSIsaying,

“Our participation in this project with e& and NEC Laboratories America underscores GeSI’s commitment to promoting sustainable practices across all sectors. With our experience and global network, we look forward to contributing to this collaboration as a model for sustainable innovation in supply chain management.”

The first phase of Proof of concept (PoC) will focus on adapting the NPS simulation tool to the specific needs of e&. We will provide the data necessary to adapt the tool and maximize its effectiveness. After the design and development phase, e& will commit to testing the tool and provide essential feedback to refine its functionality.

This MoU demonstrates a commitment to sustainability and provides a model for future collaboration to put technology at the service of sustainable development. The partnership symbolizes a shared understanding of the essential role that digital innovation plays in achieving environmental goals.

e& continues to demonstrate leadership in sustainability and this new initiative is another step towards achieving its goal of reducing carbon emissions and improving environmental performance. By aligning its activities with global sustainability standards, e& not only fulfills its corporate social responsibility but also sets a new benchmark for environmental management in the technology industry.
