PLM & Sustainability News March 2024

The PLM Green Global Alliance (PGGA) mission is to educate, advocate, and collaborate across the boundaries of technical disciplines, industries, and international borders to advance the use of Product Lifecycle Management strategies and technologies in the transition to a more sustainable decarbonized circular economy.

In our latest quarterly PLM & Sustainability News Digest we hope to provide not only timely information but also inspiration to the thousands of professionals around the world who work in PLM-related fields and care not only about delivering products and profits but also protecting people and the planet.
