Highlighting pathways for future control and sustainability reporting

James Ross Consulting deployed our Greenshare sustainability data management tool to collate information on packaging type and on environmental impact. In addition, we also undertook a ‘best in class’ analysis to compare GSK product to competitor product across a range of categories within Europe and the USA.

Business Challenge

GSK wanted to assess their current packaging use, across a range of markets and manufacturing points (owned and co-packed) in terms of how packaging used compared across markets (internal comparison), how it compared with competitors (best in class comparison) and how the packaging performed relative to emerging retail / customer / market requirements regarding the environment. In making this assessment it was recognized that different systems for control and supply of packaging would operate across the different routes of supply

Value Delivered

The project identified a number of opportunities for packaging change. Some of these were achievable with limited cost; others required a more strategic / longer term approach. Changes highlighted scope for supply chain process, packaging cost and material / environmental reduction. Significantly, the project also highlighted challenges and pathways relating to future control of packaging specification generation across multiple supply points.
