Leading companies, including Walmart, are leveraging their size to bring the unit cost down, while governments are investing in the expensive infrastructures as part of their environmental targets.
Responsible water stewardship for drinks companies
Leading consumer companies, including Coca Cola, have embarked on responsible water stewardship which includes a combination of saving water resources and reducing water consumption in the production process.
Growing focus on sustainable sourcing of agricultural commodities
Given the increasing pressure on forests to cope with growing economic activities, leading companies including Unilever are focusing on sustainable sourcing to prevent deforestation. In addition, fair trade also forms a key element of sustainability of which M&S is a pioneer.
