Product Stewardship and Innovation 

No longer just a matter of complying

Product stewardship and sustainability are no longer just a matter of complying with the current regulation or with the clients’ standards and requirements, as it requires a long-term strategy which involves various stakeholders across the organization. Indeed, decarbonization, as well as the assessment of a product’s environmental impact, is becoming increasingly more relevant for the sustainability strategy of a chemical company.

We at Lamberti decided to internally develop the specific skills needed to develop both LCA and carbon footprint studies. We have created a multi-disciplinary product sustainability team putting together R&D, regulatory and corporate development skills:

• to meet the always increasing mar­ket request for environmental impact studies;
• to implement a new product designing processes that involves a real and considerable eco-design perspective.
