About this listen

 How can sustainability become an enabler rather than a burden? What role does digital transformation, lifecycle management, and environmental data play in modern product design? In this episode of the Next Generation Design Podcast, host Greg Arnot speaks with Lucas Dann, Mechanical Engineer & Managing Director at Nexpirit, and Lennart Gorholt, Senior Project Manager at Phoenix Contact Group. Together, they explore how sustainability can be seamlessly integrated into the design process, how companies can leverage Siemens’ NX and Teamcenter to track and optimize environmental footprints, and why waiting for "perfect data" is no longer an excuse to delay action. Lucas and Lennart share insights into how digital tools empower engineers to measure sustainability impacts early in product design, how Phoenix Contact developed an automated system for CO₂ footprint calculations, and the real-world impact of shifting sustainability efforts "left" in the design cycle. Whether you're an engineer, product designer, or business leader, this episode will change how you think about sustainability in the context of digital design and lifecycle management.
