Drivers for Sustainability

• Initiatives like the Climate Pledge, the Paris Agreement, and a strong push from European regulatory bodies, including the European Union, are driving the world toward a lower emissions future.
• In support of this, increasingly, companies around the world are building or have built sustainability roadmaps that demand significant reductions in CO2 emissions over the comings years
• In order to effectively reduce one’s carbon footprint, one must be able to assess the current emissions, as well as the impact of individual design choices on potential for reduction

Gauss Sustainability Value Proposition

• Through use of Gauss Sustainability, a user can assess the impact of individual design choices on carbon footprint, broken down by processes and raw materials and, thus, potentially drive design choices as per their impact on carbon footprint.
• Additionally, this allows end-users to drive improvements throughout their PCB supply chain, such as by pushing for greener processes or for greater use of renewable energy sources at their suppliers’ facilities
• This, when coupled with corporate-wide initiatives can drive, when driven by many organizations and larger groups, in tandem, can even result in improvements to grid sources and result in overall reduced carbon emissions
