Corporate reporting requirements have been recalibrated, yet atmospheric CO₂ continues to rise. Product-level requirements, such as Product Carbon Footprints (PCF) and Digital Product Passports (DPP), continue to advance, and energy security, critical materials, and supply-chain resilience have become board-level concerns. This webinar will examine how much companies should invest in sustainability and where those investments deliver the greatest environmental and business returns. We will show how PLM, with its product context and digital thread, enables companies to direct investment toward the products, engineering decisions, and lifecycle stages that matter most, and to make those investments measurable, repeatable, and defensible. Do these statements sound familiar? • Shifting political and regulatory priorities make it difficult for us to determine how much to invest in sustainability and where. • While corporate reporting requirements have eased in some regions, customer, OEM, and market-access requirements for product-level carbon data continue to grow. • Energy price volatility, competition for critical minerals, and supply-chain disruptions are risks that our sustainability strategies must address. • Product carbon data is fragmented across PLM, ERP, suppliers, and spreadsheets, forcing us to rebuild the same information multiple times. • Limited access to our primary supplier data forces us to rely on estimates and questionnaires that are difficult to trust or verify. • We're missing cost-saving opportunities by addressing sustainability only after the product design freeze. What will I learn? • Understand why sustainability remains a business imperative despite shifting political priorities. • Learn how to determine how much to invest in sustainability and where those investments deliver the greatest return. • Understand how to measure the business and environmental value of sustainability investments. • Discover how integrating sustainability into engineering decisions lowers your product’s PCF and cost. • Understand the product-data foundation needed to meet customer, market, and regulatory requirements without rebuilding information each time. • Learn how supplier data ecosystems and Digital Product Passports extend PLM beyond the enterprise. • Gain a realistic view of where AI can accelerate product sustainability. • Leave with a value-based roadmap for directing sustainability investment. Who should attend? This webinar is designed for executives and cross-functional leaders in Sustainability, Engineering, Sourcing, Manufacturing, IT, and Operations across any industry.
