Highlights
00:40 — Many business leaders are recognizing that sustainability is a core aspect of business development. Additionally, sustainability is becoming a customer expectation, especially as it relates to cutting carbon emissions.
00:57 — Using sustainable packaging is a simple way to achieve this. When the use of packaging is addressed on a company-wide scale, organizations can make a serious dent in their carbon output, which will ultimately support sustainability strategies.
01:16 — Industries such as retail or manufacturing can choose sustainable alternatives for their packaging materials, but this applies to organizations in every sector. Companies that are receiving shipments should seek suppliers with sustainable packaging materials. Using carbon markers is a way to give customers the ability to make informed decisions about the amount of carbon they are using. It also demonstrates the level of transparency an organization offers.
02:13 — Beyond this, there are ways to use reusable packaging, which can be done in individual households or through third-party packaging providers.
02:36 — Swapping out packing materials for more sustainable options may seem like a small effort, but makes an impressive dent in overall sustainability initiatives. Further, incorporating customers into the effort to overcome sustainability challenges will have beneficial effects on them, the organization, and the overall global world.
