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 carbon footprint.
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.
There are so many unknowns, for example, the impact of the war in Ukraine and the Energy Crisis.

Rising concerns over climate change are causing a major shift in the energy ecosystem. This Green Energy transition is causing companies across many industries to commit to reducing the carbon footprint of their products and operations, including their extended supply chain.

Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) is critical to accelerating the Green Energy transition by enabling companies to reduce their carbon footprints and design sustainability into their products, plants, and assets from the outset so they can better manage them throughout their product lifecycle.

Companies have a unique opportunity to embrace the transition with more decarbonized sustainable circular processes that will bring value to their customers, their bottom line, and the future of our planet, which, in turn, will benefit generations to come.

This webinar will present key aspects for helping organizations realize their net-zero commitment. CIMdata will share its view on how companies can reduce their product carbon footprint and use PLM to design more sustainable products. As part of this webinar, CIMdata will kick off its Green Energy Transition and Sustainability 2023 Survey.

What will I learn?

You will understand the current state of GHG emissions by industry and country and why organizations are pursuing a transition to a green economy.
You will learn more about the UN’s role in climate change and sustainability.
You will be able to explain what a carbon footprint is and why it is critical to a company transitioning to green.
You will understand the key factors in sustainable eco-design.
You will learn about a time-proven model to help drive organizational acceptance of new initiatives such as product development digitalization.

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.
