Food and consumer goods

Food and consumer goods

Consumers are paying more attention to the sustainability of products bought in supermarkets. Retailers are also among the group that is increasingly embracing this idea, and they actively seek out products with a limited footprint. As a producer of consumer goods, it is all the more important to think carefully about how you can reduce your impact and innovate sustainably.

Faced with the choice, consumers tend to now favour the product with a sustainability pledge.

Everyone is starting to realise just how important our footprint is, and everyone wants to do their bit. If this can then be done through simple in-store choices, consumers will be eager to make use of it. The following are just several of the potential projects we can guide you through to meet the demands of the conscious consumer.

CO2 neutrality

Consumers—and retailers hot on their trail—demand a commitment to carbon neutrality. We will be there to support you in this, with a greater focus on effective CO2 reduction in your own chain rather than on CO2 offset, which avoids greenwashing at all times.

Green product

If you still want to leave it up to the consumer to decide, it would be worthwhile to upgrade one or more products from your range to a sustainable variant. We can either help you make an existing product climate-neutral or help you design a new—sustainable—product from the ground up, based on international sustainability standards.

Circularity

If you want your product to be one with minimal loss of value in terms of raw materials and components, we will support you in revising the use of raw materials on the one hand and thinking about a system change in the consumption of your product on the other.

Plastic reduction

The use of plastic is ubiquitous. We will assist you in gaining an accurate picture of your plastic consumption and will work together to find alternatives that will drastically reduce plastic consumption.

Consulting

Our audits serve as the basis for mapping out the current situation and creating a plan of action to evolve towards the ideal future scenario.

Procurement

The action plan is put into effect by bringing together a team tailored to each new challenge. All participants are challenged to give their very best at competitive conditions, and we negotiate quality assurance with all parties involved.

Management

We are the go-to for all parties involved and report on the progress of the project, which guarantees the qualitative completion of each project.

The benefits of collaboration

The climate marches have made it abundantly clear that sustainability is an important issue. Accordingly, consumers like to opt for sustainable products when shopping. As a producer of food or consumer goods, being aware of the increasing demand for sustainability and integrating this form of innovation into your range is all the more important.

Additional revenue

In a world that seems to be running out of opportunities, it is particularly interesting to use sustainability to develop new solutions for your customers and to be of even better service to them.

A stronger image

Sustainable innovation will help strengthen the image of a company, brand or product in the long term. This long-term approach ensures that brands continue to take consistent steps, with their 'name' becoming ever more valuable to clients, consumers or employees.

Lower costs

Sustainability innovation has quick and effective implications for a company's cost structure. Thanks to a new approach to processes and raw materials, energy consumption will decrease, waste will be reduced, there will be less staff turnover and the tax burden will decrease.

Long-term compliance

It has become a given that governments will adopt increasingly stringent measures with regard to the footprint of companies. However, clients and consumers will also impose ever-higher demands. Thanks to investments in sustainability, which already generate interesting benefits, you can ensure that your company remains relevant in the long term.
