📢“Development of PET trays! ✅ Past: PET trays were among the first packaging formats making large scale use of recycled content, long before bottles. ✅ Present: PET trays are more and more entering the separate collection, to be sorted and recycled in a stream of their own. ✅ Near future: Tray to Tray recycling is no longer a novelty, but an industrial reality, making PET trays fully circular. Such an outstanding achievement, seemed to be impossible and turned into reality over the course of a few years. It is a result of the great work done by PETCORE EUROPE in ensuring value chain commitment and cooperation.” – Luca Stramare, steering board member at TCEP.

Teamwork for people and planet: That's why we work together with WWF 🌎 Creating more impact together: With this goal in mind, we at Lidl are now working together as part of a strategic international partnership with WWF. Building on from existing local partnerships, for example in Switzerland and Austria, the new international partnership will involve 31 countries. The global ecological and social challenges of our time can only be managed if we work together. That is why it is time to join forces. 💪 As one of Europe's largest food retailer and one of the world's most experienced conservation organisations, the long-term cooperation with WWF will focus on working along Lidl’s value chain, thereby helping to address the global ecological challenges of our time, and ensuring that more households have access to more sustainable choices. 💚 Christoph Pohl, Chief Purchasing Officer at Lidl International, explains the reasons for the partnership: “In our role as one of the largest food retailers, we are aware of our responsibility and our influence. We take responsibility with the aim of doing business within planetary boundaries. For Lidl, sustainable management is not only a question of attitude, but also the basis for the future viability of our business model. With the support and expertise of WWF, we will now take our commitment to sustainability to the next level. We can only overcome major global challenges such as climate change and nature loss by working together. That's why we believe in strong partnerships to work together to provide more sustainable choices.” This long-term partnership is another cornerstone of our commitment to driving sustainability as part of our international CSR strategy. Together, we are committed to responsible sourcing of raw materials, combating food waste and protecting the climate and biodiversity. Comprehensive, ambitious sustainability targets across the entire retail value chain form the core of the collaboration with the aim of providing customers with more sustainable choices. 🛒 Join us as we achieve great goals together!

Policymakers in Europe are increasingly focused on the development of carbon capture, usage and storage (CCUS) value chains. We are seeing projects and ventures proliferate in some markets such as the UK, Italy and the Netherlands. With significant regulatory change underway in many of the jurisdictions reviewed, projects are being brought forward in the context of a rapidly evolving regulatory framework.   Together with our #BestFriends #lawfirms we have produced a guide which covers the status of the European CCUS sector and the regulatory landscape across 7 jurisdictions. Our partners Dirk Uwer and Daniel Zimmer as well as our senior associate Dr. Rebecca Klein contributed the Germany chapter. Read the full guide and find out about the regulatory landscape across Germany and the other jurisdictions: https://lnkd.in/ddBAZ2nm BonelliErede, Bredin Prat, De Brauw Blackstone Westbroek, Hengeler Mueller, Slaughter and May and Uría Menéndez 

It has been a great experience to attend GTNF Conferences and deliver a keynote speech yesterday. Coming together as an industry, with academics and regulators, and hearing the different viewpoints, has been hugely informative and enlightening as we work together to reduce tobacco harms and create less risky alternatives for our consumers.     And at Imperial Brands PLC, we have an important role to play in this: we focus on taking a challenger approach, which means we are closer to the consumer, act with agility and deliver accelerated product development that addresses consumer pain points through differentiated brands.     Imperial’s transformation is consumer focused and grounded in responsible business. Our ongoing partnership and collaboration with key stakeholders, across science, innovation, regulation and our consumers, is what drives our challenger approach and delivers our journey of harm reduction. I’m proud to share this work and our achievements in this area, as I really believe it is industry leading and can play an important role in reducing harm for the consumer.     If you would like to read a copy of my speech, or find out more, further information is here with the link below in the comments.
