'The team at Root widened my vision on sustainability from initially only thinking about packaging, to considering waste management throughout my business and complete supply chain, also considering other topics such as energy, water and worker welfare. Sustainability is now rooted at the core of the business and involved in all decision making; and not only as a way of meeting our own objectives, or those of legislation, but its quite simply smarter , more efficient and overall better business.'

We worked with Root to analyse the impact of key packaging SKU’s using their Impact Analysis tool and help us understand competitive performance. They developed a Packaging Strategy that met immediate customer needs and help me to build a strong strategic business case for a broader shift for how the business approaches packaging development. The outputs were translated into pilot projects developed into blueprints for roll out. Root is one of our most valuable suppliers - their knowledge and approach is helping reduce costs to the customer while developing a new competitive advantage for the company.
