FMCG

Turning scale into sustainability impact.

Overview

Sector introduction

The FMCG sector touches billions of lives daily, but its rapid growth and global scale come with significant environmental and social footprints, from water use and packaging waste to labour practices and supply chain emissions. As consumers demand cleaner, greener, and more ethical products, FMCG companies must transition from linear, volume-based models to more circular, inclusive, and traceable systems, without compromising on agility or market responsiveness.
