Incorporating sustainability thinking into products through innovation and new products
The sustainability performance of our products is important. There are opportunities to improve margin by reducing the energy and material use in product development, manufacturing and logistics, and as sustainability challenges become more acute for our customers, there are also opportunities to develop new revenue streams from test functionality and to use our sustainability messages in our marketing.
Priorities
Product functionality: Provide solutions that reduce our customers’ environmental impacts and help them to develop new technologies that address global sustainability challenges
Sustainable product design: Minimise the impact of our own products, including environmentally friendly product design, energy and material efficiency, and Solutions-as-a-Service
Highlights
88 per cent faster: Introducing Velocity to automate testing at our Positioning lab has helped reduce the time to complete the QTM satellite track validation test from 60 hours to 7
70 per cent lighter: The new 1U Nebula product is 60kg lighter and uses at least 20 per cent less power than the previous 11U chassis
Our sustainable product programme is focused on two key themes:
Product functionality
Sustainable product design
