LCA-at-Scale: Lessons from Seagate on Scaling Product Footprinting

As customer requests, sustainability reporting requirements, carbon footprint of products (CFP/PCF) initiatives, and decarbonisation expectations continue to grow, companies are under increasing pressure to generate credible, product-level environmental data across entire portfolios, not just a handful of products. Yet many organisations are discovering that traditional Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) approaches were never designed to keep pace with the scale, speed, and complexity required to support today’s business, customer, and sustainability needs.

Join Anthesis and Seagate for a practical discussion on LCA-at-Scale and how leading organisations are transforming product sustainability data into actionable insights for carbon footprinting, decarbonisation, customer engagement, environmental reporting, and strategic decision-making. Through a moderated discussion, Seagate will share lessons learned from its journey to scale these capabilities across a global product portfolio, while Anthesis will explore the technologies, approaches, and trends shaping the future of LCA-at-Scale.
