Sustainability Bulletin - 08.01.2022

Dear Friends,

We have prepared a condensed bulletin for you based on news, articles, and developments that recently took place around the globe about Sustainability.

Here’s what happened last week in our Sustainable World;

?Carbon Free Energy: At least one-fifth of the world's largest public companies have committed to net-zero targets and for many, the focus goes beyond their own emissions. Major organizations are in a prime position to innovate, finance and install the technology needed for the world to meet its net-zero emissions goals.

?Sustainable Food System: New York: A few years ago, sustainability might have focused on mitigating adverse environmental impacts, but today’s emerging brands put sustainability at the core, with products that make a net positive impact on issues like climate, waste, and building a more sustainable food system.

?Sustainable Industry: Compared to traditional, subtractive means of production, additive manufacturing seems like an obvious improvement in terms of lessening environmental impact. Rather than milling away material to create geometries, for instance, additive manufacturing (AM) adds only the material needed for the design and any required supports.

?Sustainable Facility: Global food and beverage company Nestlé announced the opening of a new $340 million Nescafé coffee factory in Veracruz, Mexico, powered by clean energy and producing zero wastewater. The opening of the new plant follows the launch by Nestlé of a series of sustainability commitments for its Nescafé brand last year, including goals to achieve 100% responsibly sourced coffee by 2025, 100% recyclable or reusable packaging by 2025, alongside investments in climate-related actions across the supply chain to decrease environmental impact.

These features measure their customers' sustainable retail and B2B sales expectations with Qualtrics; personalize marketing and offers to ecology-minded customers with Emarsys and its customer data platform (CDP); and attempt to remediate internal inefficiencies while reducing returns.
