Thank you, EUPD Research for organizing such an incredible event and for giving me the opportunity to participate in the panel #LifecycleAssessment (LCA): Measuring Impact, Driving Sustainability 🚀 with fellow panelists Silvia Wittl Felix Vieg and Harald Schmidt. Here are some of my thoughts in a nutshell: In today’s world, sustainability isn’t just a buzzword but a necessity. Companies 🌍 aiming for sustainable and long-term success have a strong interest in embracing tools such as Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) to uncover their environmental impacts and drive meaningful change. At its core, LCA helps businesses to: - identify 🔍 environmental hotspots across a product’s lifecycle. - optimize processes to reduce carbon footprint ♻️, water use, and waste. - design eco-friendly products 🌱 and align with global sustainability goals. So, how can businesses unlock the full potential of LCA? 1️⃣ Align it with strategic goals, start small but focus on scalability. 2️⃣ Embed it early in the product definition and design phase. 3️⃣ Be transparent and engage stakeholders from the start. 4️⃣ Monitor progress and adapt for continuous improvement. Certainly, LCA isn’t just about compliance—it’s about leadership, innovation, and creating real value for businesses and the planet. Let’s build a future together, where sustainable practices are at the heart of every decision. 🌟 What’s your approach to lifecycle thinking? Let’s discuss! 👇 #Sustainability #Innovation #Cleantech #BusinessLeadership
