Do any of the following statements sound familiar?
- Many companies “intend” to reduce their carbon footprint but progress is slow.
- Few companies are managing their Product Carbon Footprints across the product lifecycle.
- Few companies have the insights and supply chain practices to control their supply chain’s PCF, which is responsible for 80-90% of their GHG emissions.
- Over 4,200 companies have made science-based net-zero commitments, but few are on track to meet their commitments.
- 80% of a product’s carbon footprint is locked in during the design phase, but companies design for manufacturability and profit, which is at odds with sustainable product design.
- Many companies are looking to transform to a more sustainable business but have not yet been successful.
- Companies are under intense pressure to provide accurate ESG reporting.
The impact of increasing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, resulting in global warming and the growing climate change crisis is causing people—consumers, investors, policymakers, and companies to transition to more sustainable businesses that eliminate waste and shift away from the use of fossil fuels and toward renewable energy sources. Over the past few years, thousands of companies across many industries have committed to science-based net-zero emission targets.
Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) is critical to accelerating the Green Energy transition as it enables companies to reduce their product carbon footprint (PCF) and design sustainability into their products, plants, and assets from the outset. This allows them to embed sustainability into their product lifecycle, thus eliminating waste and decarbonizing their products and services. Companies have a unique opportunity to embrace the transition with more sustainable circular processes that bring value to their customers, their bottom line, and the future of our planet, which, in turn, will benefit generations to come.
In this webinar, CIMdata will review the results of the Green Energy Transition and Sustainability 2023 Survey and present its view on how companies can reduce their PCF and use PLM to design more sustainable products to help organizations make their sustainability goals and net-zero commitments a reality.
What will I learn?
- You will learn about the results from our recent The Green Energy Transition and Sustainability Survey.
- You will learn about the current state of the planet--GHG emissions, global warming, and why organizations are pursuing a transition to sustainability and a green economy.
- You will understand the importance of embedding sustainability within your PLM strategy.
- You will be able to explain the importance of sustainable design and circularity.
- You will be able to explain what a PCF is and why it is critical to companies transitioning to green.
Who should attend?
Companies that are going through a green energy transition including those companies building or executing plans to reduce their GHG emissions and their product’s carbon footprint. Attendees can come from every part of the organization as sustainable products with reduced carbon footprints impact product design, manufacturing, sourcing, logistics, service, operations, and the supply chain (upstream and downstream). People from multiple levels will find the information pertinent and valuable: senior and middle managers, PLM team participants, PLM users (engineers, manufacturing planners, sourcing, logistics, installation and services practitioners, and others), IT—anyone impacted by how an organization is transitioning to green.
During the webinar you’ll also have the opportunity to ask questions about the topics discussed.
