Sustainable Supply Success Stories
Levi Strauss & Co.
Reducing Water Usage in Denim Production
Challenge:
Denim production is notoriously resource-intensive, with high water consumption and wastewater pollution. Levi Strauss & Co. recognized the environmental toll of their processes and sought to reduce their footprint while maintaining quality.
Solution:
Levi Strauss & Co. launched the Water<Less initiative, reengineering the denim finishing process to use significantly less water. They replaced traditional washing methods with innovative techniques, such as ozone processing and recycled water systems. Additionally, they partnered with suppliers to implement water-saving measures throughout the supply chain.
Results:
- Over 3 billion liters of water saved since the program’s launch.
- 1.5 billion liters of water recycled back into manufacturing.
- Positive brand reputation among environmentally conscious consumers.
This initiative proved that reducing water use is not only beneficial for the planet but also enhances operational efficiency and customer loyalty.
Unilever
100% Sustainable Palm Oil Sourcing
Challenge:
Palm oil is a widely used ingredient with a significant environmental impact due to deforestation and habitat destruction. Unilever faced criticism and recognized the need for sustainable sourcing to protect biodiversity and meet consumer expectations.
Solution:
Unilever committed to sourcing 100% certified sustainable palm oil. They worked with the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) to ensure their suppliers met rigorous sustainability standards. They also introduced traceability measures to track palm oil back to its origin and supported smallholder farmers with training programs to adopt eco-friendly practices.
Results:
- By 2020, 100% of Unilever’s palm oil was sustainably sourced.
- Increased transparency across the supply chain, enabling better accountability.
- Enhanced livelihoods for over 1.5 million smallholder farmers worldwide.
This transformation has helped Unilever solidify its position as a leader in sustainable supply chain practices.
IKEA
Transitioning to a Circular Supply Chain
Challenge:
IKEA, known for its affordable furniture, recognized that its traditional linear supply chain model (take-make-dispose) was unsustainable in the long term. The company wanted to reduce waste and create a circular economy.
Solution:
IKEA launched a comprehensive plan to achieve climate positivity by 2030. They redesigned products to use renewable or recycled materials and implemented take-back programs where customers could return used furniture for refurbishment or recycling. The company also invested in renewable energy and eco-friendly manufacturing processes.
Results:
- By 2022, 50% of IKEA’s products were made with renewable and recycled materials, with a goal of reaching 100% by 2030.
- The take-back program diverted thousands of tons of furniture from landfills.
- IKEA became a global advocate for the circular economy, inspiring other businesses to follow suit.
This transformation highlights how companies can reduce waste while creating value for customers and the environment.
