C<\/span>limate and resilience belong at the heart of the commercial work a business is already doing. Rather than running sustainability as a separate program, we build the metrics into commercial work already underway, for example across COGS, assortment planning, supply <\/span>chain<\/span> or R&D effectiveness. One engagement delivers both results, improving today\u2019s P&L while protecting <\/span>tomorrow\u2019s<\/span>. <\/span>Done properly, the same delivery work pays back in three ways \u2013 returns, <\/span>relevance<\/span> and resilience.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/section>\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Case study <\/p>\n

Grocery retail productivity program\u00a0\u00a0<\/h2>\n <\/hgroup>\n\n
\n

Inflation squeezing margins, a whole estate fighting for profit \u2013 so we asked: where does cost and effort actually go? More than 10% of shopfloor colleagues built and tested the new ways of working as we rebuilt the operation from the floor up: delivery routing, stock management, e-commerce.<\/p>\n

Consumer goods manufacturing performance program\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/h2>\n <\/hgroup>\n\n

15 manufacturing lines, 16 months, one team on the floor. Working line by line with our client\u2019s people, we found the performance hiding in the detail \u2013 more output from the same assets, less material to make it.<\/p>\n
