Building your sustainable packaging roadmap starts with assessing your current situation, especially if you are at the beginning of your sustainable packaging journey and need to focus your resources on critical changes.

​

We offer two formats that can be used separately or in combination as a step-by-step process: 1) expert audit and 2) interactive workshop.

Our experts assess your current packaging practices and identify risks and gaps related to regulations, consumer expectations, and competition. We also explore the value of sustainable packaging for your cost savings, brand reputation, and consumer loyalty.

A sustainable packaging roadmap allows your organization to focus resources and efforts and align business decisions to achieve the desired value of your packaging, regardless of whether you are at the beginning of your sustainable packaging journey or already advanced.

​

We offer two formats: 1) coaching and guiding your team to build your sustainable packaging roadmap or 2) building your sustainable packaging roadmap for you.

 

2.1 GROW YOUR PACKAGING PROCUREMENT TALENT

1. Define the ideal state according to business goals, needs, constraints, opportunities, and sustainable practices, assess the current state, and identify gaps vs the ideal state (months 1&2)

2. Construct a step-by-step strategy to reach the ideal state (months 3&4)

3. Align on the final strategy (2 iterations max), translate it into an actionable plan, and kick it off with your team (months 5&6)

​
