We regularly publish blogs about our work, interesting trends we notice in the market, and topical issues. And \u2013 as I suppose anyone should if they\u2019re investing time in such things \u2013 we find it interesting to look back and see which of our offerings caught our readers\u2019 imaginations the most. So here\u2019s our top 5 from 2018.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Sustainable beer<\/a> \u2013 Our blog covering our collaboration brew with 4 Pines was, perhaps unsurprisingly, top of the list. After all, with War on Waste catching the public\u2019s attention, who wouldn\u2019t want to read about a carbon positive beer that helped divert waste bread from landfill? Win-win-win!<\/li>\n
  2. A better washing (life) cycle<\/a> \u2013 2018 was an exciting year for our Chile team, with the highlight being their work developing an LCA-based sustainability label for Unilever\u2019s washing detergent lines that can now be seen on shop shelves across the country.<\/li>\n
  3. Recycling put to the sword<\/a> \u2013 Waste created a lot of column inches, largely as a result of China\u2019s decision to clamp down on imports of recyclable material. Our resident waste expert, Blake Lindley, summarised the implications after visiting the Waste 2018 conference.<\/li>\n
  4. There\u2019s no escaping the science<\/a> \u2013 We were extremely proud when, early last year, we published our own Science Based Target, joining an exclusive but growing list of ambitious companies around the world. In the short time since, the number of companies with verified targets has grown by 70%, and we\u2019re working with a bunch of companies queuing up to join that roll call.<\/li>\n
  5. An end to slavery?<\/a> \u2013 last but not least \u2013 and perhaps only last of the five because of its publication late in the year \u2013 was our piece marking the passing of the Modern Slavery Act. The Act looks set to continue to dominate the sustainability agenda in 2019 too, with companies across the country now required to make sustainable procurement a top priority.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    All in all, a quite predictable list, we think. Waste, beer, sustainable consumption, climate change action and new legal requirements were all bound to be high on sustainability professionals\u2019 reading lists. Our predictions for next year? Climate risk for sure\u2026 more modern slavery\u2026 sustainable packaging, something about fast fashion, and perhaps the less fashionable (but topical) roll out of ISCA V2.0 would be my guess. We look forward to finding out!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
