What if sustainability needed to go beyond Carbon management to become a strategy?
In this episode, Adam discusses sustainability in FMCG, with an emphasis on localised water risk management. He touches on technologies for water efficiency and closed-loop systems, which are constrained by regulation in some regions, and highlights India’s zero liquid discharge practices. Water savings can also strengthen the business case through energy recovery and loss reduction, with wastewater serving as a bioindicator of inefficiency. He points to regenerative agriculture, intermodal transport, supplier engagement to decarbonise scope 3, growing customer demands for sustainability data, and future trends including nature metrics, risk pricing maturity, shorter supply chains, financial instruments, digital traceability, and collaborative action.

What Is Actually Driving Profitable Growth Today?
Our next executive workshops are designed to answer that question directly.
In a confidential, small-group setting, we combine current research, structured frameworks, and open discussion focused on your specific challenges.
Each one-hour session addresses a single strategic issue — Volume vs. Value, Demand Spaces, Shrinking for Growth — with the aim of moving beyond tactics and clarifying where growth is truly coming from, and where it is not.
