Operational Impact
With the help of Sweep, Withings was able to gain full visibility over their carbon data, which was crucial for their sustainability objectives. They were able to identify emission hotspots in their product life cycle and strategically act on them. This led to operational changes such as promoting maritime shipment over air freight, which significantly reduces carbon emissions. Additionally, they were able to compare alternative materials and processes across each stage of a product's life cycle, which informed the development of low-carbon products. For example, they were able to test different materials to design the most climate-friendly packaging, demonstrating their commitment to eco-design. | |
Quantitative Benefit
85% of Withings' emissions come from the products they sell, highlighting the importance of their eco-design initiative. | |
Withings began tracking their carbon footprint in October 2021, demonstrating their commitment to transparency and sustainability. | |
