This one-page infographic illustrates key findings from the 2017 Pure Strategies' report Reaching the New Corporate Frontier.

Pure Strategies sponsored the E-Book written by Environment + Energy Leader: Implementing an Advanced Corporate Climate Strategy. Pure Strategies and some of our clients, including Walmart, Ben & Jerry's, and Seventh Generation provide insight to help companies set important science-based targets, control GHG emissions, and establish climate goals.

Agriculture relies on productive land, adequate water, workers’ labor, and the welfare of animals. However, environmental damage and social injustice threaten these basic needs. The loss of half of our arable soil, extreme drought, widespread poverty across smallholder farmers, and growing farm labor shortages weakens the entire agricultural supply chain. This is driving companies, farmers, workers, and the environment perilously close to failure.

Over half the global gross domestic product is at risk due to the loss of nature. This is a significant threat to business and all of society, resulting in supply chain disruptions and the destabilization of natural processes accelerated by climate change. Understanding the connection business has to nature and biodiversity can help mitigate risks and bring significant opportunities.

Radio Flyer's transition to greater chemical transparency and safer products and supply chains demonstrates the power of understanding corporate chemical footprints as a platform for crafting a proactive approach to chemicals management.

Our 2015 market research found more food and beverage companies developing product sustainability programs. More food companies are also gaining benefits from their product sustainability efforts, including employee engagement, supply chain risk reduction, and increased sales. Still, food and beverage companies have a notable opportunity to gain more from their efforts by implementing best practices modelled by leaders to address key issues in the food supply chain. This report reveals the blueprint for success that leading companies have implemented.

Very aggressive greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs) reductions are required to limit warming to the 2°C target scientists recommend to limit the effects of climate change. Compared to 2010, we need to reduce GHGs by 40–70% by 2050.

Companies often face the challenge of needing to address the significant environmental and social impacts upstream in their supply chain where they do not have direct control.

The food industry is making headway with its sustainability initiatives, but substantially more progress is needed in order to feed the world's growing population sustainably. This book by Pure Strategies, VP of Consulting, Cheryl Baldwin makes this complex topic approachable and actionable by identifying the most pressing sustainability priorities across the entire food supply chain and illustrating, with tools and examples, how producers, processors, packers, distributors, marketers and retailers all play a role in advancing improvement.

As retailers escalate the sustainability requests they are making of their suppliers, many companies are seizing the opportunity to gain strategic value for their businesses.

Pure Strategies has a track record of assisting food and beverage companies build goals and strategies, gain efficiencies, and engage supply chains to address risks such as animal welfare, antibiotics and deforestation.

Our team of experts works to transform chemicals management from a compliance focus to a proactive approach that reduces risk, builds brand strength, and advances innovation.
