S4M – Sustainable Material Management Maturity Model research project
The S4M research project aims to assess the shipbuilding supplier network’s ability to meet sustainable development goals by identifying sustainability indicators based on key performance metrics. It explores the complex dynamics of actors and resources within the ecosystem to support progress toward net-zero emissions by 2050. The project unites eight European universities, six major suppliers, and a Finnish shipyard, to drive systemic change in the industry.
