Freddie Johnson
Freddie is a third-year Undergraduate student in the Department of Materials at Imperial College London. He has incorporated many aspects of his academics into his early career; most notably an analytical approach to problem-solving as well as an increased understanding of environmental impact associated with a variety of materials processes. This, combined with his experience at Positive Luxury, an Environmental Services company, burgeoned the EIPredict concept, a product he has been working on as of late.
About EIPredict
EIPredict aims to assist brands with their supply chain management, reporting and overall environmental impact, specifically pertaining to materials selection and sourcing. The product is driven by data derived from our Continuous Future Impact Target model (CFIT), allowing operations and design teams to break down their long-term targets into smaller, annual goals. This includes automated materials selection advice, from materials emissions to risk data, based on the materials they currently use or plan to use in the future. This is further supplemented by a report alongside regular meetings, provided as an element of the service, to enhance their materials research.
