Retail & Consumer Product Goods 

 

The new green is market focused. Are you ready to capture the retail opportunities?

Retailers' sustainability requirements are growing and product suppliers' best practices are evolving rapidly.

  • Footprints (carbon, water, sustainability)
  • Environmental claims and eco-labels
  • Supply chain efficiencies
  • Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)
  • Environmental Management Systems

  • Training & Communication

Five Winds International's life cycle-based approaches will help  you understand why sustainability is important for your brands, improve the sustainability performance of your products, and succeed in the marketplace using credible claims. Personal care, food and beverage, apparel, and electronics product suppliers have benefitted from our practical strategies and tools that improve performance through:

  • better design and material choices
  • increased supply chain efficiencies
