Session Abstract

The European Commission is introducing a new eco-design framework: the Ecodesign for Sustainable Product Regulation (ESPR). This regulation requires companies to provide a digital product passport that integrates Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) results along with identified improvement areas—and this applies to their entire product portfolio. Conducting an LCA for a flagship product will no longer be sufficient. How can businesses scale up? This session aims to explore this transformation through three key aspects:

Tools: Solutions are evolving, calculations are becoming faster, and databases are more comprehensive. But are these tools mature enough?

Engagement: A tool without product-specific data is ineffective. How can companies mobilise their suppliers, train them, and support them in data sharing?

Strategy: How can results be represented in a way that informs decision-making—not just at the product level, but across an entire portfolio?

We are at a critical moment in the Gartner Hype Cycle: beyond hype and disillusionment, it is now time for practical implementation.
