BETTER TOMORROW

The programme from reactor to intake bay.

Sustainable raw materials, supply-chain management, sustainable logistics and Together for Sustainability, run as one governed programme rather than four initiatives.

WHERE WE STAND

Better Tomorrow is the operating name for everything that happens between a producer’s reactor and your intake bay. It exists because the sustainability gains in distribution are mostly integration gains: the same drum, sourced better, moved better, packed better and documented better.

Four workstreams sit under one programme owner with a shared metric pack: raw materials, supply-chain management, logistics, and our participation in Together for Sustainability. Splitting them across departments is how these programmes usually stall.

It is deliberately unglamorous work: load factors, pack formats, audit closure rates, chain-of-custody paperwork. It is also where the measurable reductions actually come from.

OVERVIEW
01
B01

Programme overview

One owner, one metric pack, four workstreams and a quarterly review that looks at all of them together. Customers can receive the parts of it that touch their own supply.

WHAT THIS INCLUDES
•
Single programme owner and shared metrics
•
Quarterly cross-workstream review
•
Per-account reporting on request

MATERIALS

B02

Sustainable raw materials

Bio-based, mass-balance and recycled-content inputs with chain-of-custody certification that survives an audit, plus qualified alternates so a sustainable choice is not a single-source risk.

WHAT THIS INCLUDES
•
ISCC PLUS chain of custody
•
Segregated and mass-balance supply options
•
Qualified alternates for certified grades
IMAGE: SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT
CHAIN
03
B03

Supply chain management

Supplier qualification, assessment, audit and corrective action as one governed cycle rather than four disconnected activities, extended to critical tier-2 inputs.

WHAT THIS INCLUDES
•
One governed cycle: qualify, assess, audit, act
•
Tier-2 traceability on critical inputs
•
Escalation and exit criteria defined
IMAGE: SUSTAINABLE LOGISTICS
LOGISTICS
04
B04

Sustainable logistics

Network design, stock positioning, modal shift, load factor and returnable packaging planned together, because optimising any one of them alone moves the emissions somewhere else.

WHAT THIS INCLUDES
•
Network and stock-positioning review
•
Modal shift and load-factor targets
•
Returnable packaging across delivery formats
IMAGE: TOGETHER FOR SUSTAINABILITY
TfS

B05

Together for Sustainability

Shared industry assessments and audits so a supplier is evaluated once and recognised by every member. That means less duplicated effort upstream and wider coverage for everyone.

WHAT THIS INCLUDES
•
Shared TfS assessments and audits
•
Results recognised across members
•
Corrective actions tracked to closure
