81、ysis of the potential environmental impacts associated with a product through all stages of its life cycle.The product life cycle is divided into four stages for analysis:In the results of an LCA model,impacts can be categorized by key environmental indicators such ascarbon(climate change),human tox
82、icity,and water depletion.We have also developed internal tools that help us to baseline and assess the design ofour products with respect to circularity and are developing Social LCA capability.We adopt this holistic approach to ensure:our design decisions are informed by measurementof impacts that
83、 have social andenvironmental implications;we are elevating our consideration of planetary boundaries in how we choose and deploy our knowledge;and we understand and can avoid any unintended negative consequences that might manifest if wewere to focus on only one indicator.We use LCAs to make sustai
84、nable design decisions,and to understand the environmental impacts of those decisions.Internally,the LCAs guide our decision-making towards better choices and to driveinnovation across products,technologies andbusiness models.Externally,we use LCAs to aidtransparency in sharing the carbon impacts of
85、 our products so that our consumers and customers cantake climate action through informed choices.Wealso aim to use our LCA process and results toinspire our industry peers to join us to empower informed consumer choice.Much of our recent impact research has focused ondeveloping our LCA modeling cap
86、abilities.Thesecapabilities are continually evolving as we gainmore comprehensive and sophisticated data insights and expand our capabilities.Life-Cycle AssessmentWe use a rigorous methodology to provide a calculated estimate of each product groups carbon footprint.We seek third-party verification o
87、f carbon footprints at the product group level(groups are subsets of a product category,where the products in a group all have a similar carbon footprint).Our approach provides more transparency using verification ofan overall process footprint.Our LCA and research efforts rely on a mix of primary d

156、 significant impacts on people and the planet.In FY24,we carried out our first double materiality assessment(DMA).DMA expands the traditional understanding of materiality in sustainability reporting by considering a companys impacts onpeople and the planet(“inside-out environmental and social impact
