  12. UL Research • Datalogging/Life Cycle Units

  13. UL Research • Data Logging/Life Cycle Units

  14. Resilience • Some Definitions • “The ability to recover quickly from change or misfortune” • “The capability of a strained body to recover its size and shape” • “The ability to recover quickly from disruptive change without being overwhelmed” • Focus on • Energy • Materials

  15. Resilience

  16. Resilience

  17. Resilience

  18. Lloyds of London “Sustainable Energy Security” Businesses which prepare for and take advantage of the new energy reality will prosper - failure to do so could be catastrophic Market dynamics and environmental factors mean business can no longer rely on low cost traditional energy sources China and growing Asian economies will play an increasingly important role in global energy security We are heading towards a global oil supply crunch and price spike Energy infrastructure will become increasingly vulnerable as a result of climate change and operations in harsher environments Lack of global regulation on climate change is creating an environment of uncertainty for business, which is damaging investment plans To manage increasing energy costs and carbon exposure businesses must reduce fossil fuel consumption Business must address energy-related risks to supply chains and the increasing vulnerability of 'just-in-time' models Investment in renewable energy and 'intelligent' infrastructure is booming. This revolution presents huge opportunities for new business partnerships

  19. IEA World Energy Outlook 2009 “Fresh sources of oil equivalent to the output of four Saudi Arabia's will have to be found simply to maintain present levels of supply by 2030” “in addition to the 45 millions barrels simply to stand still an additional 20 million would be required to keep pace with surging demand”

  20. Resilience

  21. Resilience

  22. Resilience

  23. Research Opportunities • Examining the resilience of the electronics sector • Decoupling Revenue from Environmental Factors (outputs and inputs) • Linear to circular • Concentrate and manage • Product to service • Roadmap to resiliency

  24. Thank you
