SUSTAINABILITY Ultimately, consumers are the key in establishing the outcome of Sustainability. A study by Nielsen IQ Feb 6, 2023 found that 78% of US Consumers say that a “Sustainable Lifestyle” is important to them. A recent Futerra survey of over 1,000 consumers in the USA and UK, discovered that 96% of people feel their own actions, such as donating, recycling, or buying ethically, can make a difference. And over half believe that they personally can make a big difference. However, according to a recent article by Boston Consulting Group, they found that… Some consumers are confused about what they, as individuals, can do to make a difference; only 20% think that they can personally have an impact. More significantly, approximately 70% are disillusioned—wary of corporate claims about progress toward sustainability and suspicious that those corporate commitments are a ruse masking the true intent: merely to burnish reputations and attract customers. High-profile allegations of corporate greenwashing only bolster the disillusionment. There have been many studies and surveys conducted about consumer recycling habits. The numbers vary but averaging out to that only 36-38% of consumers actually recycle the Food and Beverage packaging they regularly use. Resulting in that each year, billions of tons of waste end up in landfills, contributing to environmental pollution and depleting our natural resources. We as consumers must “Walk the Talk” or sustainable business practices by environmentally responsible companies will never reach their full intended impact. From Winery to Consumer...At VS Importing we are 100% "Sustainable"! With our winery, packaging, logistic and distributing partners we will always try to improve on our contributions to Sustainability. "Methods Change...traditions shouldn't" Ultimately, we consumers are the key to establishing the outcome of Sustainability. #sustainable #sustainablebusinesspractices #recycle #landfills #ecofriendlypackaging #winebytheglass #KeyKeg #Beerdistributors #NBWA #Reyesbeveragegroup #Championbrands #JJTaylorcompanies #levyrestaurantgroup #Levy

A sustainable brand isn't just a label; it's a commitment to a better future. It embodies a philosophy of mindful production, responsible resourcing, and ethical practices. It's about acknowledging all things, understanding that every choice has an impact on the planet and its inhabitants Such brands prioritize transparency, ensuring that every step of the production process aligns with Eco-friendly standards. They champion the use of renewable resources, minimizing waste, and maximizing efficiency. From sourcing raw materials to delivering the final product, their emphasis on reducing their carbon footprint serves as a model for other industries to follow. Moreover, a sustainable brand fosters a community of conscious consumers, encouraging them to make informed choices and consider the long-term consequences of their purchases. By promoting education and awareness, these brands empower individuals to become advocates for the environment, spreading the message of sustainability far and wide. A sustainable brand is not just a business; it's a movement towards a more harmonious relationship between humanity and nature. It represents a vision of a world where progress and preservation can coexist, where innovation and conservation go hand in hand. It's a testament to the belief that profitability can be achieved without compromising the health of our planet, leaving a legacy of responsible stewardship for generations to come. #biodegradable #catering #tableware #Palmplate #Arecaplate #plates #compostable #caterer

Building global partnerships and profitability | Wine and spirits | CEO @MosaicBeverages | Business Development | Brand Development & Marketing | EMBA | Business strategy
With sustainability, it’s only when you’re radical that you make an impact. The majority of wine produced and sold globally is packaged in glass. Traditionally, glass is an excellent medium that serves the practical, aesthetic and quality protection requirements of a bottle of wine well. Wine bottles are responsible for 50-70% of the carbon emissions of most wineries. As a result, we must change the industry through the development of recyclable bottles and closed-system packaging solutions. In recent years, however, wine retailers have become progressively more conscious of environmental issues. This is driven primarily by legislation, and more recently by significant consumer awareness. The terms ‘carbon footprint’, ‘environmental impact’ and ‘sustainable practice’ are now well known and understood by the consumer and have a direct and increasingly important influence on the purchasing decision. It’s important to note that glass bottles are 100% recyclable and can be recycled endlessly without any loss in purity or quality. And believe me, this is not so easy and comprehensible exercise. However, I and sure that every tiny step counts 😉 Uliana.

MBD has just returned from the Velocity Institute Sustainability Summit held in Austin last week! We continue to be deeply inspired by the insightful speakers at the event. A few notable quotes we'd like to share: "Most industries can reduce their impact. The food industry has the power to actually improve it!" - Tom Hermes and Caitlin Leibert from Whole Foods Market "Even in the face of recession, the US natural and organic product industry is poised to surpass $300B by 2024." - Simon Cutts at SPINS "62% of US adults say that food choices can impact the planet. And more than half would switch to a different food brand if it could impact climate change." - Morgan Drummond at Misfits Market "How can we ask [sustainability] questions in similar ways to make it easy for suppliers?" - Andrew Horn at Walgreens Boots Alliance "8 in 10 consumers are looking ON PACK for recycling information." - Katherine Huded from The Recycling Partnership “We at Marketing By Design LLC want to make a difference on a bigger scale. And private brand has a significant opportunity to do this.” – Maria Dubuc @ MBD For more takeaways, don't miss our newest blog with a recap of the event! #sustainability #sustainablepackaging #retailbrands #storebrands #privatebrands https://lnkd.in/gPH3JUu4

The global production industry, from the small local players to big multinationals, accepts that packaging has got to change. It has to be more environmentally friendly. 🌱 But everybody is proceeding with a lot of caution. The problem of greenwashing There is so much "greenwashing" out there, with many companies offering all kinds of local solutions, calling them "environmental", but at the end of the day very few of them actually are. The most common is PLA lining, a plastic derived from sugarcane and other natural resources. In many ways they are worse than the traditional approach. So, It is quite difficult for the industry and for food packaging brands and companies to find workable sustainable solutions, that are really sustainable. Packaging as part of the whole product Besides, packaging is a big part of the whole product - the buyer experience, If you think about browsing a supermarket aisle and looking at the products and the packaging, they very much influence the choice of the consumer which product to buy. Positive choices can be encouraged by allowing the brands to talk about the goodwill that's contained in the environmental packaging. But at the same time, the marketing department of that food producer needs to make sure there are also other qualifications there that will convince the consumer to buy that product. Especially within large companies, there are many pressures and decisions to be made about packaging and the move to more environmentally friendly solutions. Before a big brand changes its packaging, many iterations are needed – many opinions to be won over, and it can often take years to influence that trajectory. Although the challenges... Colombier is working through the operational issues to environmentally friendly packaging happen. Curious to learn more?

Our entire business model is based on sustainable growth for our producers. This article shines light on the reality of sustainability in the coffee space, very similar to tea. Sustainable growth for producers is inevitably critical in the present and future - coffee and tea brands need to double down on the approach and reporting of it.
For years, coffee roasters have been racing to implement sustainability initiatives. But are these strategies genuinely impactful – or just a sign of broader systemic issues across the industry? It is important for stakeholders all across the supply chain to take accountability for their social and environmental impact. However, sustainability strategies and impact reports have proliferated to such a degree across the sector that it’s now difficult to outline whose are genuinely effective – and whose are just another form of marketing. Often viewed as a competitive asset or a means to meet mandatory sustainability compliance, these initiatives vary in intention, commitment, accountability and effectiveness. In today’s article, Sarah Eleanor Charles speaks to Alison Streacker about the varied impacts of roasters' sustainability initiatives, and what role they may play in the future of the coffee industry. #sustainability #coffeeindustry
Is it time to scrap coffee roasters’ sustainability initiatives?
