The decisions we make before we know the Impact

Keynote, Workshop, Webinar

Most of a product's future impact is shaped long before anyone calculates its footprint. It happens in early decisions about materials, technology, business models, design and investment, often when sustainability data is incomplete and trade-offs are still invisible. In this session, Raquel takes audiences behind the scenes of sustainable product innovation and explores why better sustainability outcomes start with better decisions. Drawing on her experience leading global innovation and eco-design programs, she shares the tensions, mistakes and practical lessons of trying to embed sustainability into real product organizations. Audiences leave with a new perspective on sustainable innovation: stop measuring impact only after decisions are made and start changing the decisions that create it.

Key Takeaways

Identify the early product and innovation decisions that create long-term environmental and business consequences.
