Positivism in all aspects of life

Industries must understand that we are agents of change, not only because our business decisions can be incredibly powerful drivers of this much needed change of course, but also because we are communities of people who can individually expedite this process.

At Traktech, we are proud to take part in and promote the "POSITIVE INDUSTRY" movement because we share AMEC's values and philosophy in this initiative.

A movement to make a change in the production model possible

Those of us driving the movement are industrial companies committed to sustainable, national and international progress. We are united by a manifesto to which we feel committed through responsibility and shared opportunity.

We advocate for a sound and diversified economy, where all production sectors are maintained in a strong and sustainable balance, including green production landscapes, excellent quality food, services geared towards major goals and industrial and knowledge brands that are a global benchmark.

We want to be part of a system that drives the sectors generating the most progress and acknowledges industry as one of the most powerful agents of social and economic transformation.

As a country, we have to address a change of production model, so we need:

·More committed industrial companies (we want them all). Join us!

·Public administration to join us and create an environment conducive to the development of positive industry.

·Society to be aware of the social progress that a more industrial economy generates

We have an excellent opportunity as companies and as a society in this time of economic recovery. And we cannot fail.

While it was started by us, the member companies of amec, now it must be part of all those calling for a firm commitment to industry. Not just any industry, but positive industry, that which always adds up (+) (to the business ecosystem, to society and the planet) and which acts committed to progress.

Now is the time.

Give us a foothold and we will move the world

If you are a company or a professional convinced of the significance of the commitments we are making in this declaration and of the potential of a well-developed positive industry, we want you to send us your support.

With your support you not only encourage us, which is highly important, but we also grow in size and can contemplate more ambitious actions and campaigns.

A strategic sector

We are Positive Industry

We are Positive Industry because we love what we do, we look after the team that helps us do it and, beyond being global companies, we act locally with the regions and societies with which we share prosperity.

As companies, we measure ourselves against the quality of what we produce, but also against the social value we provide.

We work towards making the world we live in more like the world in which we want to live.

The five principles of Positive Industry are:

Anticipating

Adapting

Collaborating

Glocalising

Focusing on sustainability

Anticipating

Adapting

Collaborating

Glocalising

Focusing on sustainability

We firmly and decidedly intend to contribute to making the change of era as secure, cross-cutting and positive as possible for companies, society and the planet.

We voluntarily uphold this statement because we believe in the future of our planet, in the opportunity of the time in which we are living and in the transformative role of industry.

We are industrial companies committed to shared progress. We need an environment that is conducive to the development of our strategic plans, and a society that grows towards STEAM disciplines.

Probably the previous menu has helped you understand what this “Positive Industry” movement is about. However, we still have something more important to tell you. We still need to show you the incredible correlation that exists between industry and progress.

Percentage of global GDP

Industry and economic growth are two concepts that have gone hand in hand since the dawn of the first industrial revolution of the 18th century. There is no other way of conceiving the European leadership of the 19th and 20th centuries, leaving behind the Asian hegemony without talking about industry.

Industry = Progress

However, the relationship between industry and progress had just begun and it would not be until the end of World War II, when industry emerged as the main bastion of world social and economic growth, especially in Western countries. The reasons for this great importance lie, among other things in:

In the capacity to generate technological innovations, with the advances in people’s quality of life that this entails

In the quality of their jobs, whose roots and remuneration are above average

In the tractor effect that it produces on the rest of the productive sectors.

The crucial role of industry

Although this is part of the history and economics books of any university, the crucial role of industry is something that is more alive than ever. Economies of countries such as the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Ireland, Austria, Germany or Poland are the ones that lead the greatest representation of the industry in their GDP, with figures that comfortably exceed 20% representation.

Evolution of the industrial GDP of the EU over the total GDP (2000 – 2020)

Despite this, European industry has not been immune to the phenomenon of globalization. And in recent decades it has experienced first-hand the relocation of a large part of its production to developing countries.

This loss of importance has meant, in many cases, the destruction of millions of jobs, as well as the loss of competitiveness and innovation of many of the economies that have undergone deindustrialization processes.

There are many institutions, social agents and private associations like ours that have been leading a fight for years to recover the commitment to the industry.

But not a bet for any industry.

And for this reason the “Positive Industry” movement was born. To empower the industry, but the sustainable industry, which collaborates, which watches over society, which takes care of its teams…
