📈 Strong growth in #CleanEnergyTechnologies is creating a raw materials boom. As a result, the market will be expecting a demand surge. In the period from 2020 to 2040, solar and wind energy generation will grow by a factor of 3 while electric car (EV) sales are even predicted to rise by a factor of 25: from 3 to 73 million. This development will significantly affect supply requirements of critical minerals including lithium, nickel, cobalt, copper and rare earths. 💡 Learn more about #ResilientSupplyChains for #RawMaterials here: ➡️ https://lnkd.in/dAh5k_3x #RolandBerger

🌈🌍 Roland Berger recently marked #IDAHOBIT (International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia, Interphobia, and Transphobia) with a meaningful event. We joined forces with our partner PROUT AT WORK-Foundation to organize an enlightening Awareness Session on Trans* and Non-Binary Gender. A big 'Thank you' to Jo Labecka for your incredible support and invaluable insights on this important topic! The session was truly eye-opening and helped our colleagues gain a much better understanding of the challenges the LGBTQ+ community and especially many trans* and non-binary individuals face. It also provided us with actionable insights on how to foster #inclusive cultures in the workplace and society as a whole: ➡️ You don’t have to understand what it means for someone to be non-binary to respect the person. ➡️ Use the name a person asks you to use. ➡️ Try not to make any assumptions about people’s gender. ...and many more! According to the alarming statistics shared by PrOut at Work, workplace discrimination and hate crimes against the #queer community continue to persist in our society, highlighting the need for further progress. Let's unite against discrimination and promote #inclusivity, so we can create a more equitable and compassionate world for everyone. #JoinRolandBerger #UnityThroughDiversity #DEI #LGBTQIA+

In recent years, we've seen a positive shift in voter attitudes towards the #EuropeanUnion. European citizens are recognizing the importance of their voice in shaping #EU policies. 👉 At the same time, the rise in the share of seats held by parties critical of the EU can pose challenges for policymaking within the European Parliament. 💡 In a politically fragmented and polarized landscape, fostering open dialogue and communication is essential for maintaining the integrity of European #democracy. So are the forthcoming European Parliament #elections on the 6th to 9th of June, which present a vital opportunity for European citizens to decide on the future path of the Union: ➡ https://lnkd.in/dJ6kghpZ #RolandBerger #4Europe

#GenAI solutions have the potential to transform #steelmaking, though their implementation is still at an early stage. The use cases of AI span across the entire steelmaking value chain, promising a 10-15% overall cost efficiency boost. So, what’s holding the technology back? 📣 The respondents of our recent survey mentioned that the lack of clear, fact-based use cases, limited internal AI/digital capabilities, and a lack of enabling hardware/software are the most important missing factors. 💡 Read on for more insights into AI in steelmaking, and discover our five-step plan to help players exploit the opportunities: https://bit.ly/3VhBYn8 #RolandBerger Akio Ito

More plastic means more #waste - but also attractive business prospects in recycling. ♻️ #ChemicalRecycling stands out due to its ability to process various plastic types, including heavily contaminated or mixed plastics. One major advantage is the production of high-quality recyclates. 👉 However, chemical recycling is more capital-intensive and has lower yields compared to #MechanicalRecycling. Significant investments are needed to expand its capacity. 🚀 Learn more about chemical recycling processes, market trends, technological options, and capital requirements: https://lnkd.in/dr9hE8NF #RolandBerger Oliver Herweg, Dragos Popa

As global demand for #batteries continues to rise, Chinese battery manufacturers and #BatteryMaterials companies are strategically expanding their capacities beyond their home market. 📈🔋 Our Partner Wolfgang Bernhart will talk about this topic at CLNB 2024 - International Investment Forum tomorrow.
