Regenerative agriculture keeps growing among FMCG companies as a powerful sustainability strategy, particularly in food categories. Unlike conventional farming, it restores soil health, captures carbon, and strengthens ecosystems, addressing climate change and food security challenges. With 60% of global corporates planning sustainable sourcing investments in the next five years, this approach offers ethical benefits and strategic advantages – healthier ingredients, resilient supply chains, and reduced carbon footprints. The pressing question remains: are these efforts effectively connecting with consumers and driving real impact?
Sustainable value creation is the integration of environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues into business core strategy to create long-term value. This is especially important in the fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) sector, where market volatility and geopolitical complexity have the potential to impact consumer behaviour and operational resilience. Prioritising sustainability can help businesses to navigate uncertainty, drive uptake, enhance consumer loyalty and secure supply chain stability, contributing to long-term success.
In today's unpredictable business environment, marked by geopolitical instability, disrupted supply chains and rising costs, companies often shift to a short-term survival mindset, sidelining sustainability. However, it's vital not to overlook long-term strategic planning where creating sustainable value that endures, adapts and grows even amid volatility is key.
