Love or hate Starbucks - we can always count on them for creativity. The question is, does their latest walk into the collaborative capitalism park actually bring about measurable impact? Key aspects of Starbucks' latest initiative in Petaluma, California that make this project stand out: ☕️ Ecosystem Approach: Starbucks, in partnership with NextGen Consortium, has created a diverse ecosystem including global brands (Burger King, Yum! Brands), local businesses, and city leadership. This multi-stakeholder collaboration amplifies impact and demonstrates the power of collective action. ☕️ Competitive Collaboration: By involving competitors like Peet's Coffee, this initiative proves that sustainability can be a pre-competitive space where industry rivals cooperate for mutual benefit and societal good. ☕️ Systemic Solution: The shared reusable cup system across multiple businesses creates a cohesive consumer experience, potentially increasing adoption rates and demonstrating the scalability of the concept. ☕️ Business-Driven Sustainability: This isn't charity – it's an experiment with both capital value and environmental impact, aligning profit with purpose. ☕️ Innovation in Practice: The project takes Starbucks' previous sustainability efforts to the next level by making reusable cups the default, pushing boundaries in consumer behavior change. My take it that this initiative exemplifies how strategic partnerships and ecosystem thinking can drive innovative solutions to complex challenges. It's a testament to the potential of collaborative capitalism in creating sustainable business models that benefit all stakeholders.

We have had the consumer test results come back on the Baileys minis today. And it's not one of my projects Michelle Atkinson Aisling Gorman Dave Lütkenhaus, but I am a big fan and wanted to share that Diageo and Baileys have: - proven that Sustainability is a tie braker - it does influence choice in that moment of purchase, also in alcohol. - proven that if we make Sustainable solutions also desirable, consumers will want them. - proven that sustainable solutions are opening new consumptions occasions, being probably the biggest business growth opportunity in these times of economical downturn. So I am asking to all marketers out there, how soon are you going to plan for Sustainable growth on your brands? It may be a good idea if you do it quickly.

"A noble cause is always a good reason to do business with." Mar Vin, Foo 🪟🌿 🌎 In today's world, the intersection of profit-making and noble causes is becoming increasingly prominent. Whether it's sustainability or art, businesses are discovering that pursuing noble causes not only aligns with ethical principles but also leads to long-term success and positive societal impact. 🦄 Let's explore how businesses can integrate profit-making with sustainability or art, using examples to illustrate this powerful synergy. ♻️ Sustainability in Business: 1. Sustainable practices have become a cornerstone of modern business strategies, driven by the urgency to address climate change and environmental degradation. Companies across various industries are integrating sustainability into their operations, not just as a moral obligation but also as a strategic advantage. 2. Example: Patagonia, the outdoor apparel company, is renowned for its commitment to environmental sustainability. They have implemented initiatives such as using recycled materials, fair trade sourcing, and reducing their carbon footprint. 3. Despite these efforts costing the company money initially, they have built a loyal customer base that values sustainability, leading to long-term profitability and brand loyalty. 🖼️ Art in Business: 1. Incorporating art into business endeavors can elevate brand identity, foster creativity, and contribute to cultural enrichment. From integrating art into products and marketing campaigns to supporting local artists, businesses can leverage artistic endeavors to differentiate themselves in competitive markets. 2. Example: Starbucks, the global coffeehouse chain, has successfully integrated art into its stores through initiatives like the "Starbucks Reserve Roastery" concept. These roasteries are designed to be immersive experiences, blending coffee craftsmanship with elements of art and design. 3. By curating unique spaces that celebrate local artists and cultures, Starbucks creates memorable experiences for customers while fostering a sense of community. 🌿 Combining profit with sustainability or art not only enhances the bottom line but also contributes to a more equitable, environmentally conscious, and culturally rich society. Embracing noble causes in business is not just a choice but a compelling reason to thrive in today's world. #sustainabilityleadership #art #culture #transformation #retail #foodandbeverage ✅ Thank you for combining concepts for a winning formula.

Close at heart, Fairprice Group issued their sustainability report for FY2023. Good read for the PH. While scopes 1 and 2 emission only make up about 10-15% of the total emission of the entire product lifecycle across the value and supply chains, I hope more information can be revealed on the statistics for scope 3 emission as it entails the bulk of the emission and more often, the most difficult for carbon accounting. Nevertheless, its very encouraging to see Singapore is progressing towards realising net zero target 2050 through proper policies and ESG implementation.

From the first day attending Global Business Research (GBR) conference PackagingWorkX in Amsterdam my 2 key take aways: 1) Sustainability needs to come hand in hand with functionality. Packaging has a purpose that is to protect products and make them interesting to buy. Any efforts to drive sustainability in packaging need to include customer (and retailers) requirements at the center of the strategy and be started in design phase - much easier to get it right from the start than fix it later! 2) Collaboration and partnerships are fundamental to drive change in this space at the pace that will be required - with increasing legal requirements pushing for more sustainable solutions. The challenge is complex - only with competences and energy of multiple players, that ignite and motivate each other, will we as a society be able to "crack this code". I feel inspired by the partnerships that can happen after meeting so many people from different sectors, companies, geographies, functions... all excited to be part in building a more sustainable world (and packaging:) #sustainability #partnerships #collaboration #diversityofthought #packagingworkx
