Client


Global Heavy Machinery Manufacturer

Area


Nordic Region (Sweden / Norway)

Context


A Nordic industrial manufacturer wanted a clear path to a lower‑carbon production footprint at a flagship site. The company faced rising electricity costs, more demanding international customers and new European expectations around CBAM, “Made in EU” rules and climate reporting.

Action


Viera Consulting worked with operations, sustainability and supply‑chain leaders to map emissions and energy use, test options for electrification and efficiency and assess the potential of lower‑carbon materials. The team also examined how localisation of suppliers and production would affect emissions, cost and exposure to CBAM and industrial‑policy measures.

Impact


The client received a phased roadmap with clear decision points, investment needs and expected impact on emissions and margins. The plan linked site‑level actions to the company’s commercial positioning in Europe and to upcoming reporting and policy requirements.
