Dear readers,
As indicated by Sustainability Report 2023, education is one of the critical factors in developing successful sustainability initiatives. This is true for other initiatives as well, such as digitalization and so on. Therefore, Transformers Magazine pays particular consideration to such global initiatives and, in cooperation with other stakeholders, aims to create conditions and tools to contribute to key initiatives’ success.
Likewise, the focus of this special edition is sustainability, intending to preserve and propagate knowledge, solutions and crucial sustainability information presented at the Sustainability conference 2022. Transformers Magazine organized the conference in cooperation with key industry partners: leading utilities, transformer manufacturing companies and suppliers of materials and components.
