In the latest edition of our Spotlight feature, Trayak discusses the importance of choosing a comprehensive sustainability solution to support your corporate environmental goals.

Are companies leveraging their data to meet global climate and plastic commitments, align with SDG’s, and the requirements of environmental reporting? The key to creating a streamlined sustainability program is a comprehensive solution that is reliable, data-driven, and capable of being embedded into the organization’s product development workflow.

Driven by fierce consumer demand and expanding government regulation, the global sustainability landscape has rapidly evolved in the past decade. Across Europe, corporate environmental stewardship is growing and nowhere is this transformation more apparent than the focus on packaging, oftentimes the most visible reminder of a brand’s impact.

Effective sustainability in packaging demands a holistic and data-driven approach. Consider industry best practices: determine your portfolio’s baseline environmental footprint, set meaningful sustainability goals, reduce impact through sustainable packaging strategies, track progress, and meet reporting requirements from a variety of organizations.
