Driving Sustainability in Product Development Through Innovation 🌎 Anthesis' Product Sustainability team recently worked with Culligan to develop a custom Design for Sustainability (DfS) program, enabling Culligan to assess 100% of new products for ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) aspects by 2030. This program empowers Culligan’s product design and development teams to seamlessly integrate sustainable performance into their decision-making—just as they would for other design considerations such as reliability or cost-effectiveness. With the DfS program in place, Culligan's design teams are better equipped to create products with a reduced environmental footprint while maintaining high standards of performance.

COP29 further strengthened this by adopting Article 6 of the Paris Agreement, which enables countries to collaborate to achieve their climate targets.

At Anthesis, we support scalable and impactful carbon solutions by applying robust standards to align investments with market trends. Our projects, such as biochar initiatives and CCP-compliant efforts, deliver reliable and transformative results for clients and the planet.
