The Digital Transformation Roadmap

02. Building Sustainability Into Product Design

Up to four-fifths of a product’s lifetime emissions are determined by decisions made at the design stage. By building on proven cost-optimization techniques, companies can get those choices right. To discuss the importance of embedded sustainability in a products lifecycle I talk to Dave Duncan, Vice President of Sustainability at PTC, James Mullineux, Head of Digital Engineering at Ricardo, and Eddie Hamilton , Product Experience Designer, Sustainability Lead at seymourpowell. 
 

Data’s role in the sustainable journey

Environmental reporting is an increasing legal requirement and data strategies, technologies and software solutions are the only way for a business to effectively capture, manage and audit its carbon footprint. For many companies, data is now a core foundation of ESG reporting, business and operational process, management oversight and compliance.
So, what is it, why is it important, and what benefits can it deliver for business?
Nancy Hobhouse is well-qualified to answer these and more key questions. As head of sustainability at Evri, the UK’s biggest dedicated parcel delivery company, she’s played a central role in transforming the company’s data strategy, not just in ESG reporting but across whole business operations, processes and management.
