巴黎,2021年11月30日 / 3BL媒体 / - 消费品论坛(CGF)今天发布first annual report,‘Collective action today, impact at scale tomorrow – review 2021’.The report details the collaboration of over 400 members and highlights the work and achievements of its eight specialist Coalitions of Action.

Providing a transparent review, the report is part of CGF’s commitment to continually go further and do more to ensure better lives through better business. In what has been a challenging year for the industry, the report evidences the progress made, while acknowledging the difficulty of collaborating on big, global challenges. Created with the support of KPMG, it features examples of Coalition work across issues such as deforestation, social justice, plastic waste, food waste, health, forced labour, food safety and data accuracy.

Highlights include:

  • 塑料废物联盟发起了九个“Golden Design Rules”对于现在正在全球实施的包装,以拥抱循环经济并减少单一使用塑料。联盟的研究表明,如果实施,则规则将使塑料废物的大幅减少到自然界,并增加30%以上的回收率。
  • The Collaboration for Healthier Lives Coalition co-ordinating a global response tosupport vulnerable communitiesduring the pandemic. Actions included improving access to healthier foods and personal care products, donating food and personal care products to food banks and community programmes, and working with partners who provide essential support locally.
  • The Forest Positive Coalition’s launch of its有史以来第一份年度报告- 首次成员企业对一组关键绩效指标(KPI)保持一致,并公开报告其个人和集体成果,以将森林砍伐退出供应链。该报告是在2021年9月在纽约气候周的一部分发起的。
  • The人权Coalition – Working to End Forced Labour于2020年12月在国际人权日启动,旨在使该行业采取集体行动,以使强迫劳动结束并提高供应链的透明度。
  • In order to benefit communities, economies and the climate by tackling food waste, theFood Waste Coalition现在,正在公开报告他们的食物盈余和浪费数据。这是联盟决定性目标的一部分,即加速前进的可持续发展目标12.3,以减少全球人均粮食损失。
  • Global Food Safety Initiative(GFSI)在2021年3月,作为CGF的食品安全行动联盟开始了新的一章,最近出版了有关食品安全审计师专业认可机构的首个基准测试要求。

在2020年春季,CGF过渡到首席执行官领导的联盟,以鼓励合作并专注于更大的大规模影响。到2021年3月,已经建立了八个联盟,并通过Food Waste,Forest Positive,Global Food Safety Initiative,Collaboration for Healthier Lives,人权,Plastic Waste,产品数据andSustainable Supply Chain Initiativethe group has brought together some of the most influential CEOs of world-leading consumer goods companies to collaborate across borders and overcome barriers to deliver action.

Wai-Chan Chan, Managing Director of CGF commented on these highlights:

“If we are going to mitigate the greatest risks of the climate crisis and protect the health of communities around the world, we need to be our own biggest critics. That is exactly why we have published our first annual review, committing to rigorous and transparent reporting to accelerate action and build trust.

All our members are committed to finding solutions together that have tangible, positive effects on people, the planet and business – and it is heartening to see the many examples of this across 2021. However, as COP26 underlined, we must continue to act with urgency and work towards even more ambitious targets in 2022, scaling up our impact. Our approaches to achieve this, beyond the work of our Coalitions of Action, include increasing our reach in Asia, building on our digital connections, and expanding to working with smaller, more localised members – encouraging action at every level.”

该报告证明了该行业的韧性,同时认识到未来的挑战。其中包括确保各种规模的公司的代表性和透明度,尤其是在发展中市场的公司。

在报告的前言中可口可乐公司董事长兼首席执行官詹姆斯·昆西(James Quincey)以及阿里巴巴集团(Alibaba Group)董事长兼首席执行官丹尼尔·张(Daniel Zhang)表示::

“As an organisation, we are constantly striving to deliver tangible value to our members through the introduction of new innovations and industry-wide solutions that can be readily adopted in their own operations.

“行业领导者加入CGF的关键原因之一是机会相互联系,分享经验和学习。大流行为我们提供了一系列新的挑战,可以实现这一诺言,并确保成员继续从参与CGF的工作中获得价值。”

毕马威(KPMG)全球消费者和零售负责人雷内·维达(RenéVader)表示:

“The conversations with the CGF board members were passionate and inspiring. The consumer and retail sector may face complex challenges but a commitment to collaboration can help overcome barriers to action and enable a better future.”
