8. Shelf Ready Packaging: definition and value judgement Shelf Ready Packaging (SRP) is the term used to refer to a product that comes in a ready merchandised unit which is easy to identify, easy to open, can easily be put onto the shelf and disposed of, allowing an optimisation of shelf replenishment and enhanced visibility. SRP cannot be considered as a standalone best practice, whose generalization would bring substantial and measurable benefits at the industry level. Its implementation should follow a case-by-case iterative, rather than systematic or dogmatic approach.

29. Sustainability Index  develop the sustainability index. With this initiative, we are helping create a more transparent supply chain, driving product innovation and ultimately providing our customers with information they need to assess products’ sustainability. The index is being introduced in three phases: Step 1: Supplier Sustainability Assessment  a brief survey to evaluate their own companies’ sustainability, focus on four areas: energy and climate; material efficiency; natural resources; and people and community. Step 2: Lifecycle Analysis Database  create a consortium of universities to collaborate with suppliers, retailers, non-governmental organizations and government officials. Step 3: A Simple Tool for Customers  To provide customers with product information in a simple, convenient, easy to understand manner so they can make choices and consume in a more sustainable way.
