By identifying the hotspots of carbon emissions and resource use, we can prioritise interventions that drive meaningful reductions in our carbon footprint. The Product Carbon Footprint framework enables us to set actionable targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, an essential part of Coats\u2019 broader sustainability strategy.<\/p>

Achieving our material transition target is crucial for reducing our reliance on fossil fuels and lowering the overall environmental impact of our products. LCA plays a critical role in evaluating and guiding this transition. Through detailed lifecycle analysis, we can assess the sustainability benefits and trade-offs of recycled and bio-based materials, helping us identify the most viable alternatives that align with our climate goals.<\/p>

I\u2019ve approached my role by closely collaborating with cross-functional teams, including Innovation, production, and other technical experts, to integrate LCA into product development processes. This collaborative approach ensures that sustainability considerations are embedded from the earliest stages of product design. I also work to build a deeper understanding of LCA principles within the organisation, helping teams make data-driven decisions to optimise environmental performance.<\/p>

One of my early initiatives has been conducting detailed LCA studies for key product lines, allowing us to identify opportunities for using more sustainable materials and refining production methods to reduce carbon intensity.<\/p>

“My goal is to ensure that Coats\u2019 products not only meet the highest quality standards but also contribute positively to our climate goals.”<\/strong>
