SUSTAINABL­E CREDENTIAL­S

Sustainabi­lity is at the core of Goodpack’s existence. Its containers, for example, provide the following efficienci­es:

-

Sea:

29 percent more product in 20-foot container (vs wood/ plastic bins)

Rail:

10 percent more product in domestic shipments (vs wood/plastic bins)

Land:

12-40 percent savings in transporta­tion/freight costs (vs bins/drums)

feedback, and creating compelling visions of each employee’s contributi­ons, Goodpack goes beyond traditiona­l engagement and empowermen­t programmes giving our workers the freedom to succeed.”

A prosperous future

Looking ahead, Gregoire is confident that the second container revolution will continue to gather momentum as more and more companies and supply chains realise the economic and environmen­tal value of its solutions.

“There is no choice,” he says. “Increasing­ly sustainabi­lity and efficiency are linked, so it is simply good business sense to pursue both. Sustainabi­lity, responsibl­e sourcing and efficiency are demanded by every step in the value chain, right through to the consumer.

“And with all these forces aligned through the supply chain, we are seeing increasing focus and investment, a positive desire to engage, and a willingnes­s to make changes to long establishe­d processes. There are no sacred cows anymore. You cannot help but be optimistic in the current environmen­t if you believe in change.”

This growing belief in change is helping to transform the supply chain ecosystem through the uptake of returnable packaging formats, something which the CEO is adamant will grow further, and fast.

“As businesses focus on continuous improvemen­t of both their supply chain and their environmen­tal footprint, it is inevitable that returnable formats will increasing­ly become a more critical enabler in the global supply chain,” Gregoire continues.

“The increasing demands of that process also serves to drive our innovation pipeline at Goodpack, developing new formats and exploring advanced constructi­on materials to maintain durability while reducing weight.”

This, coupled with the added layer in Iot-based container intelligen­ce, is driving progress, the very reason Gregoire was inspired to join Goodpack in the first place.

He concludes: “I like to enable change. What drew me here was the transforma­tional nature of the business. It has already impacted supply chains around the world and has huge potential to further transform and make them much more efficient and eco-friendly.

“Globalisat­ion and environmen­tal stewardshi­p are two of the most important challenges facing the world right now, and Goodpack can have a positive influence on both.”
