Living Product Expo 2018

Track: Net Positive Products + Enterprise

Can creating better products and manufacturing systems help reverse global warming? Four very different manufacturing companies are taking on this challenge in very different ways. Learn how to shift your own mindset to "net positive" and drive innovation that helps humanity build a climate fit
for life.

Averting climate disaster and harnessing our collective ingenuity will take a fundamental shift in how organizations are approaching the challenge. Until now, it has been good enough to have a plan to measure, report, and manage carbon emissions. In light of the current climate research and the work of Project Drawdown, organizations now need to assert how they will contribute to climate solutions, even as they work to reduce their current contribution to the climate problem.

Four companies - Owens Corning, Covestro, Interface, and Sloan - will share their stories about the current state of this transformation in the building products industry and the diverse strategies they are pursuing to make their products Net Positive for Climate.
