PA at the CGF Global Summit 2024

We proudly returned to the Consumer Goods Forum (CGF) Global Summit, building on our rich history at this flagship industry event. From 11-14 June 2024, our experts in consumer, retail, and manufacturing joined global industry leaders in Chicago.

The summit marked a pivotal moment for the consumer goods industry. A time where shifting demand and a growing insistence on sustainability have transformed the way consumers find, choose, and interact with products. And a moment for forward-thinking leaders to deliver beyond plastic, collectively redefining the industry’s future.

Big picture impact: Four insights from the 2024 CGF Global Summit in Chicago

This year's event emphasised collective action, collaboration, and innovation in sustainability, focusing on plastics and consumer-centred strategies.

Beyond plastic: Impact through collaboration

Our special session explored how to deliver speed, scale, and affordability through a new approach to industry collaboration.

Thursday 13 June, 12:00-12:50pm CDT

PA with Coca-Cola, Mars, and Sanofi Consumer Healthcare

Plastic will be the next controlled substance – tracked, traced, taxed, and regulated. Promising alternatives exist but lack speed, scale, and affordability.

True change demands a radical new approach – where global players unite in their mission to bring sustainable solutions to life.

Our panel discussed how cross-industry partnerships are creating the speed and power to push for true scale and deliver material impact.
