Introduction to ISO 14001, Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and Cradle-to-Cradle Frameworks Fundamentals
Understand environmental standards with "Introduction to ISO 14001, Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and Cradle-to-Cradle Frameworks Fundamentals." This course introduces sustainability-driven methodologies for improving manufacturing and product design. The inclusion of ISO frameworks in product development contributes to stronger cybersecurity postures by ensuring that supply chains and digital manufacturing systems incorporate traceability, accountability, and risk management from the outset. As LCA and cradle-to-cradle principles intersect with smart manufacturing, integrating secure-by-design concepts into sustainable frameworks helps prevent cyber vulnerabilities tied to sourcing and digital process automation.
