Additionally, the CGF board made the following recommendations:
• The CGF pillar responsible for the Consumer Engagement Protocol initiative will be Operational Excellence.
• Retail leadership was strongly recommended for the Next-Generation Product Identification initiative.The board also indicated that the responsible pillar will be Operational Excellence.
• As a first step for the Sustainable Packaging Consortium initiative, the board recommended that the Sustainability Working Group validate the proposal and that ambitious
targets should be set. The named strategic pillars have considered these topics to
be very relevant and have integrated them with high priority into their programs.
Outlook: Next Steps Beyond the three selected initiatives, a number of other ideas that came out of the crowd sourcing process and workshop are interesting to qualify further. The Emerging Trends Steering Group will continue their activities by reviewing these ideas and evaluating potential further analysis with the respective strategic pillars and/ or working groups of CGF. The outcomes of this exercise and the subsequent mobilization will be communicated in
due course.
