Impact and Innovation in Consumer Goods and Retail

Climate 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 chain or R&D effectiveness. One engagement delivers both results, improving today’s P&L while protecting tomorrow’s. Done properly, the same delivery work pays back in three ways – returns, relevance and resilience. 

Case study

Grocery retail productivity program  

Inflation squeezing margins, a whole estate fighting for profit – 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.

 

‘Newton helped us unlock benefits our teams couldn’t see as they were too close to the inner workings of our business.’

CEO, Grocery Retailer 

Case study

Consumer goods manufacturing performance program   

15 manufacturing lines, 16 months, one team on the floor. Working line by line with our client’s people, we found the performance hiding in the detail – more output from the same assets, less material to make it.

 

‘The value was in the micro and your approach unlocked it. From now on you are our operations partner and no other group will set foot in our facilities.’

CEO, International CPG manufacturer
