Sustainable Product Design: The Time Is Now

A change is coming, and it’s essential not to be left behind. Sustainability has become a watchword for many companies but achieving the aims behind the goals presents businesses with significant challenges.

Did you know that an estimated 80% of the environmental impacts associated with products result from design decisions? This is why sustainable product design will be a crucial topic for companies in 2023. Prepare to address this by attending our breakfast seminar, which will give you insights into planning and implementing a sustainable product design approach.

Speakers from Capgemini and IBM will share their insights on the opportunities of sustainable product design and share examples of successful cases.

In the panel discussion – featuring panelists from Konecranes, Nokia, Metso Outotec and Cargotec – we’ll dive deeper into practice: How these companies have implemented sustainability in their product design processes, and what are the learnings and key benefits.

As the impact of sustainability continues to ripple through all industries, those who move decisively to adopt a sustainable product design approach can position themselves as leaders in their market. Find out how and why that should include you.
