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.”
