We see policy development and partnership building as being key in making businesses and organisations more sustainable.  Rewiring these to facilitate the development of a robust sustainability strategies is fundamental to delivering change. 

We can support businesses to better understand sustainability and the plastics imperative, including the impact and dependencies of plastics on both society and the economy.  In doing so we can explore the relationship between plastics and your business, the risks and opportunities provided and conduct policy analysis to identify gaps and areas for improvement.  This can help businesses and organisations to:

·     ensure compliance with current legislation and be ready for forthcoming policy changes through horizon scanning

·     understanding plastic environmental and social impact hotspots, including those in specific value chains

·     dealing with plastic market developments and consumer concerns to protect reputation

To address this, we can define effective sustainability strategies and identify the practical competencies necessary to achieve them. We can therefore support businesses put policies into practice through effective planning.  This involves defining effective action plans and identifying appropriate evidence, assessments, and indicators.  It involves setting plastic commitments that are realistic and science-based and developing meaningful approaches to mitigating impacts.

We can therefore provide a roadmap for change and enable businesses and organisations to develop their own sustainability strategies, action plans and indicators.

We can also deliver the ‘nuts and bolts’ work that will help to guide and operationalise the Plastics Strategy through, for example:

• Behavioural change
• Green procurement and supply chain management
• Product and packaging eco-design / optimisation
• Packaging recyclability reviews
