IN THIS CASE STUDY

Challenges

1

Rapidly evolving ESG and sustainability regulations: With an ever-changing regulatory landscape, the company required a solution that was adaptable and practical in meeting new regulations. 

2

High stakeholder pressures: Stakeholders demanded sustainable and ethical products, putting enormous pressure on the business to ensure sustainability throughout the product life cycle.  

3

Rigorous ESG data collection, management, reporting: The company faced the complexity of collecting and managing data for environmental, social and governance (ESG) to meet disclosure rules and improve sustainability performance. 

Solution

In the face of these challenges, the consumer goods manufacturer partnered with Sphera. For over a decade, Sphera has provided comprehensive solutions to streamline the manufacturer’s sustainability performance. 

To tackle the evolving ESG and sustainability regulatory landscape, SpheraCloud Corporate Sustainability Software was implemented. This solution helped the company monitor and report progress toward its 2030 sustainability goals, which ranged from reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 50% to decreasing its water footprint in water-stressed locations by half. 

Recognizing the rising demand for sustainable products and packaging, the company once again turned to Sphera to implement several tools from Sphera’s LCA software suite, including LCA for Experts and LCA for Packaging. These tools allowed the manufacturer to understand the environmental impacts of each of its products throughout their life cycles, thus ensuring comprehensive and credible green claims. 

Results

The partnership with Sphera led to significant improvements in the company’s sustainability performance. With the help of Sphera’s sustainability tools, the manufacturer was able to track and improve sustainability performance in real time, comply with ESG reporting standards and leverage LCA to drive product sustainability. Additionally, Sphera’s expertise in risk, sustainability and LCAs enabled the company to provide stakeholders with verified sustainable and ethical products. 

Furthermore, the intuitive user interface offered by Sphera’s software allowed different users within the company, from executive management to site-level operations, to effectively use the tools and contribute to the company’s sustainability goals. 

Finally, the dedicated team of consultants and IT support specialists at Sphera provided the company with constant support, helping them navigate the intricacies of ESG implementation with greater confidence.
