Carlsberg Marston’s Brewing Company to trial glass bottles with up to 90% lower carbon impact

The partnership with glass bottle supplier, Encirc, allows Carlsberg Marston’s Brewing Company to take another step towards Carlsberg Group’s ZERO carbon footprint ambition with a trial demonstrating the possibility to cut the carbon impact of glass bottles by up to 90%.

The trial with glass bottle supplier, Encirc, uses 100% biofuel and increases the recycled content of the bottles to 100% while maintaining quality.

1 million beer bottles have been manufactured for the Carlsberg Danish Pilsner brand, known for being probably the best beer in the world.

Glass bottles account for around 10% of the total beer-in-hand emissions (the full value chain) for CMBC. This trial has significant potential to support the brewer’s target to cut emissions across its value chain as part of Carlsberg Group’s Together Towards ZERO programme. The carbon impact … Read more

Whether it’s seizing upon a new growth opportunity, solving a current business obstacle, or implementing a companywide change, companies are never short on things to do. They do, however, often struggle to find the resources to get it all done.

Not wanting to “staff up” or disrupt ongoing business, leaders face three choices: (1) over-burden an existing functional team, (2) hire an outside consulting firm, or (3) anoint an internal task force.

Whether you form a task force, committee, project team, working group or project management office (PMO), cross-functional teams have become popular in recent years for three primary reasons: they build a collaborative culture, improve coordination and integration, and spur innovative ideas.

In fact, organizations rely more on cross-functional teams than they did five years ago.

  1. People now spend about 50 percent more time engaged in collaborative work than they did 5 years ago.

By: Ruth Bolle, Managing Partner of Research by Design

February is Black History Month for a number of countries across the world, including the United States of America, Germany, and France. In the U.K. and Hungary, it’s LGBTQ+ History Month.

While Black History Month — and other history months — is observed around the world, advancing equality, diversity, and inclusion have never been more important in this moment of global reckoning. But are we truly progressing?

While the intent may be present, not all professional associations are collecting data that allows them to establish how representative their profession is against the population or how representative their membership is of the profession. The data simply isn’t available or collectable for some and considered too expensive or unwarrantedly intrusive for others.

Salesforce.org partnered with Research by Design on a new research report about advancing equality, diversity, and inclusion in professional membership associations.
