At CDP, Chris Houghton and team are partnering with global FMCG and CPG clients to tackle their complex sustainability challenges. By integrating strategy, advanced technologies, and manufacturing expertise, we deliver outcomes that create lasting value. No matter where you stand with your sustainability goals – whether ahead, behind, or on track – it’s crucial to assess your position. For those behind, urgent acceleration is needed. This might involve shortlisting candidate materials or making manufacturing adaptations (or acquisitions) to achieve feasible, high-scale, high-speed machinability. For those on track, concerns often revolve around CAPEX investments and unit costs eroding profit margins. There’s a fear of missing out on better, cheaper ways to ensure long-term commercial viability. Impressively, some clients are ahead of NetZero! However, this race towards reduction, reuse, and recyclability can sometimes come at the cost of consumer desirability, potentially impacting brand equity. Our Consumer and Healthcare teams routinely address these pressing sustainability and innovation questions, focusing on accelerating clients’ time to market.
