Environmental protection is one of the few corporate innovation areas where we either all Win or all Lose.
We are delighted to have three eminent speakers from the Logitech team, who will demonstrate that when sustainability is built-in from the start, it becomes a uniquely powerful lever for innovation – not an afterthought.”
John Byrne – Senior Program Manager, Sustainability Engineering.
“Engineering Technical Solutions for Carbon Reduction:
Sustainability Engineering is an R&D group within Logitech, affectionately known internally as ‘Go Green Engineering’. This Briefing will look at some of the more interesting technical solutions covering Materials, Electronics, Manufacturing Processes and Product Energy Efficiency. Logitech will share its strategic decisions, the challenges they face, and their hope to encourage other companies on a sustainability journey to collaborate and share knowledge.
Padraig Murphy – Principal Sustainability Design Engineer, a 20-year veteran of Logitech.
“Carbon Clarity and Driving Lower Impact Design Decisions:
Discover how, as first movers in the carbon labelling space, Logitech build on rigorous, third-party validated calculations of product carbon footprint to drive meaningful progress towards our 2030 climate goals. They will share insights into the rationale behind their Carbon Clarity program and explain how Life Cycle Assessments (LCA) support key programs, from using Next Life Plastics to optimizing supply chain processes.“
David Harpur leads the Logitech Design for Sustainability (DfS) team.
“Design for Sustainability: A Blueprint for Conscious Innovation:
What truly makes a product sustainable? Often, the most impactful choices are the ones you never see. Join us for a 20-minute, deep dive into how Design for Sustainability (DfS) is being woven into the very first sketches of Logitech’s product development activities. They will pull back the curtain on how 80% of a product’s environmental impact is decided long before mass production begins.
