Bringing ingenuity to life at CGF Global Summit

Our team at CGF Global Summit

We were proud to return to the Consumer Goods Forum (CGF) Global Summit, as we build on our rich history at this flagship industry event. From 20-23 June 2022, our leadership team joined industry leaders in Dublin. Read our key takeaways from a thought-provoking and inspiring Summit.

Our leadership team were on the ground throughout the Summit.

We enjoyed meeting you and discussing how bold, focused leadership can inspire teams to find creative solutions to global problems at pace.

Get in touch to arrange a meeting.

CEO Sessions

We were proud to be CGF’s exclusive partner for the CEO Breakfast Sessions, and enjoyed connecting with you there.

Our CEO Ken Toombs led one of the CEO Sessions on A new way to lead: Growing on purpose, sharing the unexpected findings of our brand new research with 300 global business leaders.

Our stand

Clients experienced ingenuity up close on our stand in the centre of the iZone.

Walking through PA’s unique lens on the world at our striking exhibition stand, they were able to interact with world-class examples of how we bring ingenuity to life for our clients.

Design for impact

Creating superior consumer experiences can be achieved through impactful, human-centred design that harnesses the very best of science and engineering. Discover how we conceive and deliver ingenious new products, services and experiences by designing and innovating further, faster.

We helped Guide Beauty create a fresh line of beauty tools to make it easier for anyone – including those with physical limitations – to create any beauty look.

Innovate for sustainability

Sustainability is a guiding principle that presents a commercial, purpose-led opportunity that businesses must embrace. Consumers demand effective action to accelerate sustainable products and services. We believe the solutions to this demand can be resolved through innovation at the intersection of environment, strategy, technology and regulation.

Dunnet Bay Distillers wanted to reduce its environmental footprint as it grew its business. PA Consulting helped develop recyclable spirits packaging that eradicates the need to use a single use bottle and also reduces costs.

PulPac: Developing a low cost approach to producing sustainable packaging

Swedish R&D and IP company, PulPac, has developed a sustainable production method that can replace single use plastic at a lower cost. We helped them commercialise their IP for fast results.

Embrace digital

Digital isn’t just about fast-changing technology opening up new possibilities and empowering consumers. It is about balancing the benefits of digital-first products and services with responsible growth.

Unilever and PA created a world-leading predictive tool, COVID-19 Awareness and Situational Intelligence (CASI). CASI is a live dashboard providing real-time monitoring and predictive intelligence on COVID-19 trends from a global and regional level down to individual sites.

A new way to lead

Future-focused leaders are responding to the need for a new and better way to lead: one where business growth is part of a greater contribution to society. In line with this year's themes, we believe real leadership is growing sustainably in a way that is better for people and the planet.

A new way to lead: positively different leadership, our latest report, is built on our new research with over 300 global business leaders. The report shows that there are new and tangible ways for leaders to shape organisations that benefit the wellbeing of their employees and wider society.

Our leadership team were at CGF Global Summit to share the report and discuss its unexpected findings with global industry leaders.

Another chapter in our CGF story

We are proud of our rich history of bringing ingenuity to life at CGF Summit.

At the 2019 Summit in Vancouver, we presented a revolutionary and sustainable plastic alternative, PulPac, to the industry, backed by our world-first, 100% recyclable exhibition stand made entirely from recycled ocean waste plastic.

At the 2021 virtual Summit, we teamed up with Unilever to reveal CASI, our world-leading and award-winning predictive intelligence tool that accurately predicts the spread of COVID-19 to safeguard Unilever’s global ecosystem.

At this year's Summit, we were proud and excited to share more stories of ingenuity and continue our longstanding partnership with CGF.
