Is the clean energy supply chain ready for grid expansion?
With the government’s renewed focus on upgrading national infrastructure, clean energy providers must ensure their supply chains and processes are fully optimised ahead of any increased demand.
How cost-carbon efficient is your NPD process?
New product development (NPD) in the FMCG sector often comes with high cost and carbon implications. Businesses must create a holistic process that considers these aspects from ideation through to waste minimisation.
