• Coalitions of Action & Industry Solutions

    Platforms for positive business actions that benefit both people and planet, and the broader industry.

Leading Through Collective Intelligence

Our CEO-led Coalitions of Action and Industry Solutions convene retailers and manufacturers to address the most critical global challenges facing our industry. By focusing on areas such as climate, deforestation, health, and human rights, we provide the platform for leaders to share insights and develop voluntary best practices.

Working in a pre-competitive environment, members collaborate to explore practical frameworks that support the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). These platforms enable members to build shared business value and support people & the planet through informed, independent implementation. Guided by our Board of Directors, these coalitions provide the strategic leadership necessary to navigate complex issues where CEO-level vision is essential for industry-wide progress.

Coalitions of Action: Driving Impact for People and Planet

Our strategy focuses on amplifying shared intelligence to help organisations achieve their own goals with greater speed and impact. By providing high-level frameworks, we equip leaders to move forward on key industry challenges for the benefits of the people & planet through independent business action.

We bridge the gap between global vision and regional reality. Our roadmaps are designed for local agility, ensuring that global projects are tailored to the specific imperatives and priorities of the markets you serve.
