Ecology-related events hit more and more often the headlines in the news. And this is not about to end. In December 2015, 196 countries all over the world adopted the Paris Agreement, aiming at limiting the increase of the global average temperature to 1.5°C.

Monitoring Key Performance Indicators has become absolutely essential for glassmakers: first of all, so that they are aware of their energy consumption; secondly so that they have consistent data for analyses and decision-making.

Innovation has no limits and is the key to success for glassmakers.
