Pure Strategies has issued a Call to Action for companies to Start Now for Nature! by signing up to get on the planet-forward path.

The core of our business is working with companies to advance environmental and social performance. In 2023, our team provided sustainability consulting support to clients that included top leaders in more than 15 industries, with a major focus on retail, food and beverage, and apparel.

The wave of sustainable packaging commitments set a few years ago will expire in 2025. These programs focus on plastic packaging aims. How close are companies to meeting these goals?

With emerging regulations targeting sustainable packaging, and mounting customer and investor pressure, businesses need to better understand the packaging they use.

The alarm has been sounded, and companies need to ensure that they have effective nature strategies.

The Environmental Protection Agency has identified urban stormwater runoff as the fastest growing source of water pollution in the United States. Companies and communities rely on clean water, yet not enough businesses are paying attention to the impact they have on water quality.

As a U.S. Plastics Pact Activator, Pure Strategies is committed to helping businesses transition to a more circular economy, such as increasing the use of post-consumer recycled (PCR) plastic in packaging.

The U.S. Plastics Pact aims to realize a new path for plastic packaging by 2025, one that is more circular. The group has been working since late 2020 to plan and take the first steps toward this big ambition.

A hidden challenge with plastic strategies is a lack of clarity about what materials are considered plastic and preferred solutions.

By following three key steps, businesses can develop goals and follow actions to support the restoration of biodiversity, a move that has benefits for both business and nature.

Pure Strategies launched of a self-assessment tool designed to help companies start in building a strong commitment to protecting and restoring nature – including water, land, biodiversity, and oceans.

Pure Strategies Co-Founder Robert Kerr was interviewed for an article in Chemical & Engineering News on the sustainability rankings report recently distributed by ChemSec.

Sustainable packaging is a keystone issue for corporate sustainability. When we look ahead, are we on the path to a circular and sustainable system for packaging?

The companies that will thrive in the coming years will be the ones that have purpose integrated into their business. They will help to solve important social and environmental problems, including climate change and inequity, through the power of their business.

Pure Strategies was founded to help companies transform business to create a more sustainable future. As an organization, we became B Corp certified to continue on that mission and connect to like-minded organizations working to do the right thing to support each other. We are proud to share our progress over the last year as a certified B Corp.

This month, Pure Strategies celebrates twenty years of sustainability consulting leadership. The company has helped build transformative strategies, improve products and packaging, and shift supply chains toward greater environmental and social performance for industry-leading companies including Walmart, Seventh Generation, Stonyfield Farms, Ben & Jerry’s, and over 100 other organizations.  

Sustainable chemical management is a critical component of a healthy and circular future. Chemical footprinting and the CFP help advance that concept and as a result, play a key role in helping us reach a healthy and circular future.
