10 key takeaways

Leaders from PepsiCo, Tapestry, and Ulta Beauty emphasised addressing Scope 3 emissions, which present significant challenges but also the greatest opportunities for meaningful impact.

PepsiCo’s strategic focus on narrowing from 100,000 suppliers to 200 key partners demonstrates the importance of prioritising efforts for maximum impact. Similarly, Kuehne+Nagel highlighted the 17 touchpoints within a supply chain, showcasing how challenges can equally be rethought as opportunities to implement meaningful change and drive collaboration.

Examples such as renewable electricity at PepsiCo, circular products at Tapestry, and Kuehne+Nagel’s partnerships for sustainable fuels showcase creative solutions across diverse industries.

Kuehne+Nagel emphasised that while advanced IT tools provide accurate emissions data, the real challenge lies in using this information effectively. By setting clear objectives and actionable plans, businesses can transform complexities into optimised supply chains, reducing both carbon footprints and costs.

PepsiCo uses methods such as bulk purchasing, leveraging grants, and prioritising projects to ensure sustainability measures align with financial goals. Ulta Beauty’s approach shows how rethinking supply chain practices, such as solar energy and automation, creates systems prepared for the future.

Through transparency and educational examples, Kuehne+Nagel earns trust from smaller brands by showcasing sustainable practices and creating tailored solutions for their needs.

Tapestry encourages a culture of collaboration and healthy competition within the industry, helping transform sustainability challenges into shared opportunities.

Across the board, PepsiCo, Ulta Beauty, and Kuehne+Nagel stressed the importance of working with like-minded partners who share sustainability goals to achieve meaningful progress.

PepsiCo demonstrates how to integrate sustainability into an organisation’s DNA by leveraging HR, finance, and operations to drive measurable outcomes.

Kuehne+Nagel and other panellists underscored the urgency of acting now. Delaying action to address supply chain complexities increases risks and costs, but with focus and collaboration, these challenges become opportunities for transformation.
