As climate resilience actions continue to grow in response to our rapidly changing environment, organizations around the world have pledged to reduce emissions to minimize the impacts of climate change. According to the UN, more than 1,200 companies have aligned actions to reach net-zero, meaning all emissions will be as close to zero as possible.

A circular economy, where waste is reused as a resource for new products, is a key strategy in moving towards a net zero system. For companies with physical products that are used by large segments of the population, a major focus has been on rethinking the product lifecycle to live within the limits of our planet. With the help of technology, organizations can extend the life of their products and move towards a circular economy. In industries such as electronics, fashion, finance, and more, prolonging product life and transforming product lifecycles are a necessity to meeting environmental goals. Join TCS in a global discussion on how technology can create a sustainable approach to product lifecycles across industries to meet our net zero targets.
