PLM Green Global Alliance contributor Mark Reisig recently led a CIMdata webinar on “Sustainability Trends Within PLM” on April 10, 2025.

Key topics of the agenda that Mark covered include:

• Status of Sustainability
• Sustainability Trends
• Embedding Sustainability into PLM Strategies
  • Circular Economy and the Digital Product Passport (DPP)
  • Reducing Product Carbon Footprint (PCF)
  • Enhancing Supply Chain Visibility
  • Design for Sustainability (DfS)
  • Lifecycle Assessments (LCA)
  • Digital Threads and Digital Twins
• Why Companies Should Care
• Concluding Remarks

In advance of the global CIMdata PLM Market & Industry Forums, Mark previously authored a post discussing the important role of PLM in sustainability initiatives. In the article, available HERE, he wrote.

“PLM is pivotal in achieving sustainability goals, particularly in reducing the Product Carbon Footprint (PCF)—a measure of GHG emissions across a product’s lifecycle. About 80% of a product’s environmental impact is determined in the design phase. Yet only 24% of companies have visibility into their supply chain during design. This gap highlights PLM’s critical role in integrating sustainable practices into product development.”
