Matthew Wright, Driving Sustainability & Profitability

Here's a Preview of What You'll Learn:

Why sustainability is so hard for companies to navigate
How a spec-first approach is key to realizing sustainability commitments and complying with regulations
How the same data that drives sustainability can also drive cost optimizations

I wanted to make packaging. I wanted to make a lot of it, and sell a lot of it, and ship a lot of it. And when there's high complexity and unorganized relationships, generally that's not good for anybody. It costs everybody money. And so I think as we start to really talk about, how do we create that fluid relationship through network and portals, supplier portals, supplier collaboration and network, everybody's going to benefit.
