A better way to a sustainable future
Measurements are behind many of the daily actions that we take for granted, like buying food, filling our vehicle’s gas tank, switching the lights on at home, or taking medicine.
Accurate measurements ensure that we get the right amount of food, fuel, and energy, and that our medication is safe. They ensure communities can function well and provide the foundations for safer and more sustainable businesses and societies.
Whether building a sustainable future, supporting the circular economy or developing the next generation of technology, our purpose is to help make a safer and less uncertain world.
Cybersecurity in a machine-dominated era
How can businesses and industries navigate the ever-evolving landscape of cyber threats as our reliance on machines and AI grows?
With cybercriminals refining their techniques, exploiting legitimate tools and evading detection, the necessity for more resilient cybersecurity has never been greater. We can ensure a safer and more transparent world by adopting improved security protocols, accurate measurements and increased awareness.

Decoupling the global supply chain
What will the Great Decoupling mean for the global supply chain and trade?
For years, companies have relied on globalisation and strategies such as off-shoring and just-in-time to keep the global economy afloat. But the rivalry between America and China may overturn long-established economic, manufacturing and supply chain models.
Decoding the Great Decoupling of the US from China
Amid mounting tensions, the Great Decoupling signifies the dramatic disentanglement between the US and China, fuelling concerns of a fragmented global economy. This article contextualises the issue and explores the implications for the wider supply chain.

The rise of AI and the need for accurate data
As artificial intelligence (AI) continues to generate vast amounts of data, questions arise about its accuracy. As a result, concerns have been raised about the reliability of AI-generated data, and whether it is truly representative of reality.
It is essential to continue exploring the accuracy of AI-generated data, and to openly discuss any limitations and biases that may exist.
Lessons in bias and transparency with Generative AI
Generative AI has exploded into the public consciousness since the turn of 2023. Its ability to generate images, compose songs, make videos and write scientific papers has captured the imagination of millions, with ChatGPT setting a record for having the fastest-growing user base.

Ensuring sustainable lifestyles for 8 billion people
Earth is now home to more than eight billion people. Thanks to reduced childhood mortality, increased life expectancies and improved healthcare, the global population has almost tripled since the 1950s. At its current rate, we will hit 10 billion people by 2050. Is this milestone in human development a cause for alarm or a chance to redress and recalibrate global inequity in resources? How will we care for the growing global population?
How tech, data and calibration can help eliminate global poverty
The global population has grown to 8 billion people and is projected to reach 10 billion by 2050. To lift millions out of poverty, we must rethink how we produce and distribute goods and services.
