A High-Quality CO₂ Strategy for a Western European Airport

A roadmap to Airport Carbon Accreditation with high-quality climate projects that go beyond emission reduction

The situation

An international airport in Western Europe has taken responsibility for its emissions across Scope 1, Scope 2, and business travel (Scope 3). As a participant in the international Airport Carbon Accreditation (ACA) Programme, the airport has been certified at ACA Level 4+ since October 2024, placing it among the 62 best-performing airports worldwide.

To take the next step towards ACA Level 5 (Net Zero), the airport partnered with Anthesis to develop a long-term compensation strategy through to 2035. The strategy focuses on investing in high-quality CO₂ projects that deliver benefits for the climate, biodiversity, and local communities.

Our solutions

Anthesis supported the airport’s sustainability team in developing a compensation strategy aligned with ACA requirements, the Oxford Principles for Net Zero Aligned Offsetting, and the organisation’s broader sustainability ambitions.

The strategy sets out a progressive shift from avoidance credits to removal credits, with only removals used from 2030 onwards, in line with ACA Level 5 criteria.

Project selection emphasises the quality, geographical relevance, and co-benefits, with a focus on:

  • Avoidance projects: clean cookstoves, safe drinking water, and household biogas
  • Removal projects: reforestation, agroforestry, mangroves, biochar, and innovative technologies such as Direct Air Capture

Impact of the project

  • Annual increase in removals: The share of removals will gradually increase until 2029. From 2030 onwards, only removals will be used in line with ACA Level 5.
  • Geographical focus: Projects in Latin America, Africa, and Asia reflect the airport’s international destinations.
  • Co-benefits: Projects deliver additional impacts such as improved health, gender equality, economic development, and biodiversity restoration.
  • Clear roadmap to ACA Level 5: A concrete action plan towards full removals from 2030, ensuring readiness to meet the highest ACA standards.

Supporting Ecolab’s Journey to Biodiversity Resilience https://www.anthesisgroup.com/case-studies/supporting-ecolabs-journey-to-biodiversity-resilience/ Fri, 17 Oct 2025 19:27:09 +0000 https://www.anthesisgroup.com/?post_type=case-study&p=68056

Supporting Ecolab’s Journey to Biodiversity Resilience

The Situation

Ecolab, a leading water, hygiene, and infection prevention company, is committed to the protection of biodiversity in its operations and through its products and services. Because of the organisation’s dependency on water, it plays a pivotal role in addressing key drivers of nature loss at its sites and on behalf of its customers.

To contribute to global efforts to halt and reverse biodiversity loss, Ecolab seeks to understand the state of nature, associated water and biodiversity risk, and its effects in its most critical operations. Since 2023, Anthesis has partnered with Ecolab to utilise the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures’ (TNFD) LEAP (Locate, Evaluate, Assess, Prepare to respond) approach and to chart a path for integrating biodiversity considerations into business decisions.

Throughout this time, we have provided Ecolab with end-to-end nature services, guiding them through TNFD framework application, risk and site assessments, measuring existing mitigation strategies, through to strategic guidance on next steps.

Our Solutions

Applying the LEAP approach, we assessed Ecolab’s impacts and dependencies on nature and proximity to ecologically sensitive areas. We screened its value chain industries and activities (i.e., diversified and specialty chemicals production, forest and paper products production, industrial gases production, etc.)  to identify nature impacts and dependencies.

We also enhanced our analysis of Ecolab’s sites by assessing a list of 100 facilities for reputational risk associated with proximity to key biodiversity areas (KBAs). From this review, we identified four sites for further validation based on their proximity to KBAs.

Anthesis and Tandem Global then partnered to perform a more in-depth evaluation of 19 manufacturing sites included in Ecolab’s commitment to obtaining Alliance for Water Stewardship (AWS) certification. This evaluation served to identify biodiversity-related dependencies, impacts, risks, and opportunities at these sites, and to assess the performance of existing site-level risk mitigation activities. These sites are focused on addressing site-related water challenges and risks and are a starting place for Ecolab to validate results of their 2023 nature risk screen as they reside in high-risk watersheds, rely on water as a critical ecosystem service, are high energy consumers, and are responsible for 70% of Ecolab’s manufacturing production.

Ecolab’s nature related dependencies include:

  • Water supply
  • Flood and storm mitigation
  • Climate mitigation
  • Land use
  • Water use
  • Greenhouse gas emissions

Impacts of the Project

Anthesis Arrow

Measuring Success

To better measure how site level actions have a positive impact on biodiversity, Anthesis supported Tandem Global in analysing recommended TNFD metrics. We are also keeping up to date with progress on the Nature Positive Initiative’s “State of Nature Metrics”, which is aimed at fostering consensus on a small set of metrics to measure the state of nature. From this analysis we have identified three metrics to be prioritised in the near-term, which will now be socialised with key internal stakeholders to integrate into site level data collection.

Anthesis Arrow

A Clear Path Forward

As a result of our work in 2025, Ecolab now has a list of prioritised sites based on physical, regulatory and reputational nature risks, and has identified that many of its existing site-level actions and management plans are already mitigating some biodiversity-related impacts. Ecolab’s greatest opportunity now lies with continued augmentation of water stewardship efforts to further mitigate nature risk as these sites.

Anthesis Arrow

End-to-End Services

By applying the TNFD LEAP framework, screening operations and value chains, and validating site-level conservation actions, Ecolab is taking meaningful steps to address its dependencies and impacts on nature. These actions not only help safeguard ecosystems but also strengthen operational resilience, reduce regulatory and reputational risks, and unlock long-term value creation.

A Comprehensive Food Waste Management Review https://www.anthesisgroup.com/case-studies/a-comprehensive-food-waste-management-review/ Fri, 17 Oct 2025 15:30:34 +0000 https://www.anthesisgroup.com/?post_type=case-study&p=68028

A Comprehensive Food Waste Management Review for Ocado Retail

The Situation

Ocado Retail, the world’s largest dedicated online supermarket, has committed to tackling food waste in line with SDG 12.3 by reducing food waste in its own operations by 20% by 2025 and halving it by 2030. With this commitment, Ocado Retail initially approached Anthesis to support them with a review of its own operation’s food waste calculation methodology to ensure the food waste measurement was robust and representative.

Following this work, Ocado Retail engaged Anthesis to help assess food waste management and practices within their customer fulfilment centres to help identify improvement areas and gaps on their journey to reduce food waste.

Our Solutions

Anthesis conducted site operations assessments at three of Ocado Retail’s distribution centres to assess how food waste is generated, handled, and avoided. Anthesis objectively reviewed and analysed waste infrastructure, operations processes and policies, data and data systems, and culture and behaviours. We also conducted waste composition analysis to identify waste hotspots and improvement opportunities.

Through this in-depth review, complimented by stakeholder engagement, Anthesis was able to present Ocado with a detailed analysis of the causes and drivers of unsold food across its operations, both at food category and process stage level. Anthesis also provided Ocado Retail with a full assessment of current operational processes, policies, infrastructure, and culture impacting unsold food. The assessment not only highlighted gaps and potential areas for food waste performance improvement, but also quantified the business opportunity for Ocado Retail.

From this, Anthesis provided a comprehensive set of strategic recommendations to reduce levels of unsold food, maximise food surplus redistribution, and reduce food waste. The recommendations spanned areas such as:

  • Food waste culture and KPIs
  • Food waste data tracking systems
  • Food waste hotspot identification
  • Using data insights to drive reductions in waste
  • New food redistribution partnerships
  • Operational policies
  • Training and education
  • Food waste infrastructure

Working with Anthesis has been a fantastic collaboration, providing Ocado Retail with invaluable insight into our food waste operations. Their site waste assessments were key drivers in identifying areas for improvement and provided recommendations to help towards achieving our food waste reduction goals. We welcome opportunities to work together again to shape a more sustainable future.

Launching the CPR Bra with St John Ambulance https://www.anthesisgroup.com/case-studies/st-johns-ambulance-cpr-bra/ Wed, 17 Sep 2025 21:57:25 +0000 https://www.anthesisgroup.com/?post_type=case-study&p=67550

St John Ambulance: The CPR Bra

The world's first educational bra, designed to save women's lives.

The situation

One in three people hesitate to give CPR to a woman because they’re worried about touching breasts—a taboo that contributes to lower bystander CPR rates and avoidable deaths.

On Restart A Heart Day, we partnered with St John Ambulance to launch the CPR Bra: a bold, educational garment that both signals consent (“It’s OK to save my life”) and teaches people how to perform CPR on a person with breasts.

Our solution

Working closely with St John Ambulance, we designed an educational CPR bra to normalise life-saving intervention for people with breasts and remove a key barrier to action. The bra features the clear message “It’s OK to save my life” across the front, paired with a concise reminder of CPR steps—turning an everyday item into a practical learning tool and a public permission signal.

Timed to Restart A Heart Day, the campaign deployed across 180+ JCDecaux out-of-home placements across the UK—including sites co-located with public-access defibrillators to connect awareness with immediate action.

Amplification came through a coalition of advocates, fronted by Millie Bright and supported by Ashley James, Lucy Edwards, and Sharon Gaffka. Bras were also sent to creators and presenters—including Myleene Klass and Scarlett Douglas—to spark conversation and share how-to content across social channels.

 It’s a shocking and sad statistic that we’re less likely to receive bystander CPR simply because we have breasts. This touch taboo needs addressing, and we need more education on how to give CPR to women. We’re hoping the CPR Bra will do just that, and ensure no woman dies from someone else’s embarrassment.

Sarah Levitt, Creative Director at Revolt, part of Anthesis

Impact

  • Reach & Efficiency: 570k+ estimated views and £20k+ earned media value delivered from £0 media spend.
  • Behavioural Barrier Addressed: Reframed the “touch taboo” with a clear permission signal and on-garment education to increase bystander confidence.
  • Right Place, Right Moment: OOH placements adjacent to defibrillators connected awareness to immediate, practical action.
  • Trusted Voices: Athlete and creator participation expanded credibility and helped normalise correct CPR for people with breasts.
  • Enduring Utility: The CPR Bra acts as a repeatable learning aid, reinforcing technique and consent beyond the campaign moment.

Carbon Footprint Reduction Verification for KUBO Ultra-Clima® Greenhouse https://www.anthesisgroup.com/case-studies/kubo-carbon-footprint-reduction-verification/ Thu, 28 Aug 2025 14:39:08 +0000 https://www.anthesisgroup.com/?post_type=case-study&p=66999

KUBO Ultra-Clima® Greenhouse

KUBO Ultra-Clima® Greenhouse: ISO-Verified 25% Carbon Footprint Reduction in Tomato Cultivation

Situation

KUBO Group is a global leader in innovative, high-tech greenhouse solutions for sustainable horticulture.

KUBO’s mission is to enable sustainable, future-proof horticulture by combining innovation, technology, and sustainability. While the company’s Ultra-Clima® greenhouse technology had shown promising environmental performance, the horticulture sector increasingly demands independent, internationally recognised verification of climate impact – both to substantiate environmental claims and to support growers and retailers in achieving their net zero targets.

KUBO required:

  • Independent, ISO-compliant assessment of CO₂ emissions in tomato cultivation using Ultra-Clima® technology.
  • Verification of results to ISO-14067 standards.
  • Comparative insights against conventional greenhouse systems and national benchmarks.

Solution

Anthesis partnered with KUBO to provide rigorous, science-based verification of the Ultra-Clima® greenhouse’s carbon footprint.

Our approach included:

  1. Independent Comparative Study – Validating results from research at KUBO’s BlueLab test centre, comparing Ultra-Clima® against a traditional Venlo greenhouse in the Netherlands.
  2. ISO-14067 Verification – Preparing and managing the official verification process to confirm the reliability of carbon footprint calculations.
  3. National Benchmark Analysis – Conducting a desktop study comparing Ultra-Clima® tomato cultivation to average Dutch tomato production footprints (KWIN data, Wageningen University & Research).

The studies delivered clear, independently verified evidence of Ultra-Clima®’s sustainability benefits:

  • 25.4% lower CO₂ footprint in tomato production (0.949 kg CO₂e/kg tomatoes) compared to traditional Venlo greenhouses (1.272 kg CO₂e/kg tomatoes).
  • Energy use reduction of up to 18.5%, lowering operational costs and emissions.
  • Significant water and crop protection savings, supporting food safety and environmental goals.
  • Resilience to extreme weather through semi-closed design and advanced climate control.
  • Proven performance below national average emissions for tomato cultivation in the Netherlands.
  • Thanks to the Ultra-Clima® technology, 92% less CO₂ is dosed – usually applied to make greenhouse crops grow faster – compared to conventional greenhouses.

These results enable KUBO and its grower customers to make credible climate claims, strengthen their market positioning, and support supply chain partners in meeting sustainability targets.

With Anthesis’ verification, we have robust, independent proof of Ultra-Clima®’s environmental benefits — turning our sustainability vision into verified reality.

– Wouter Kuiper, CEO, KUBO Group

Impact of the Project

This project demonstrates how targeted technological innovation, backed by robust verification, can deliver measurable climate and nature benefits:

  • Climate impact – Reduced greenhouse gas emissions and potential for climate-positive cultivation.
  • Nature protection – Lower water use, reduced chemical inputs, and improved biodiversity potential in horticultural systems.
  • Supply chain leadership – Helping the agri-food sector progress towards net zero through verifiable, science-based action.

Beyond tomatoes, the Ultra-Clima® model shows strong potential for other crops, including peppers, cucumbers, strawberries, and leafy greens — with further studies planned.

Promoting Equitable Sourcing Practices for EUDR Compliance with WWF https://www.anthesisgroup.com/case-studies/promoting-equitable-sourcing-practices-for-eudr-compliance-with-wwf/ Fri, 08 Aug 2025 14:09:48 +0000 https://www.anthesisgroup.com/?post_type=case-study&p=66495

Promoting Equitable Sourcing Practices for EUDR Compliance with WWF

The Situation

WWF commissioned a study to assess the production costs and market challenges faced by three indigenous cocoa producer associations in the Ecuadorian Amazon. These organisations are committed to producing deforestation-free and traceable cocoa in alignment with the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR). While the Ecuadorian study offered critical recommendations for the associations to better calculate the price of compliant cocoa, it did not address the role of European stakeholders in supporting this process.

Producers face growing uncertainty around how EUDR will be implemented in practice, including what documentation, technologies, and verification systems will be required.

Additionally, the cost of compliance, ranging from land monitoring tools to verification and training, poses a significant burden on smallholder communities with limited financial resources.

WWF engaged Anthesis to develop a concise, action-oriented paper to communicate these challenges and provide strategic recommendations for European companies and policymakers. The goal was to promote equitable sourcing practices and mobilise support mechanisms that enable small producers to comply with EUDR requirements while maintaining market access and income stability.

Our Solutions

WWF engaged Anthesis to develop a concise paper aimed at bridging this gap by translating local insights into actionable guidance for European companies, policymakers, and civil society organisations.

The goal was to inform and mobilise European actors to support the implementation of fair pricing and sustainable sourcing practices aligned with EUDR compliance.

Anthesis provided a synthesis of the Ecuadorian study’s findings and additional expert insights and recommendations tailored to European stakeholders. Internal Anthesis experts contributed perspectives in cost-benefit analysis, cocoa supply chains, deforestation, and sustainability policy.

With Anthesis’ support, we were able to highlight the critical policy and market levers needed to ensure cocoa smallholder producers can access EU markets under fair and sustainable conditions.

Michelle Neuhaus, WWF

Impacts of the Project

The resulting paper helped shift the conversation around sustainable cocoa sourcing from a local responsibility to a shared international obligation. By contextualising the economic and operational challenges faced by small producers in Ecuador, Anthesis highlighted the crucial role that European stakeholders play in enabling fair pricing and compliance.

The recommendations encourage EU-based companies to offer long-term contracts, invest in traceability systems, and provide technical assistance to producers. Policymakers are urged to consider financial mechanisms to reduce the compliance burden on smallholders.

The project advanced WWF’s sustainability goals by promoting more equitable trade relationships, fostering transparent value chains, and reducing the risk of excluding small producers from global markets due to high EUDR compliance costs.

Developing Packaging and Circular Design Guidelines for Purmo Group https://www.anthesisgroup.com/case-studies/developing-packaging-and-circular-design-guidelines-for-purmo-group/ Fri, 08 Aug 2025 08:47:46 +0000 https://www.anthesisgroup.com/?post_type=case-study&p=66489

Developing Packaging and Circular Design Guidelines for Purmo Group

The Situation

Purmo Group, a leading provider of sustainable indoor climate comfort solutions, has partnered with Anthesis to accelerate progress toward its circularity and packaging KPIs, unlocking the value of its circularity efforts.

Purmo Group sought support in clearly defining what circularity means for their business, building internal alignment and momentum across teams, and equipping stakeholders with the practical tools needed to integrate circularity into their day-to-day roles.

A central goal of the project was to engage and consult with stakeholders to build consensus and co-create two clear, actionable sets of guidelines—one for packaging and one for product design. 

Our Solutions

Anthesis began by conducting stakeholder interviews across a range of functions within Purmo Group to gain a deep understanding of the current engagement with circularity across products and packaging, customer expectations, operational practices, and variations across markets. Using these insights, we developed bespoke packaging and circular design guidelines to support teams in operations, procurement, and product development. These guidelines were grounded in best practice, aligned with regulatory requirements, and tailored to Purmo Group’s specific context. Their development was a cross-functional effort, drawing on expertise from Anthesis’ sustainable products, life cycle assessment, and packaging teams. 

Throughout the project, Anthesis worked closely with Purmo Group to ensure alignment and relevance. The project concluded with two collaborative workshops where we presented the guidelines to internal teams, gathered feedback, and supported initial steps toward embedding the guidance across the business. 

We’re extremely pleased with our collaboration with Anthesis on the development of our packaging and circular design guidelines. Their expertise has been invaluable, and we look forward to continuing to embed these principles across our business with Anthesis as our trusted partner.

Supporting Apex Clean Energy’s IFC-Compliant ESMS Journey

Carrying out an analysis of a US-based renewable energy generator’s newly developed Environmental and Social Management System

The Situation

Apex Clean Energy recognizes the importance of ensuring that environmental and social factors are suitably managed when delivering projects to supply renewable power across the United States.

To improve the coordination of their efforts across the business, Apex’s Sustainability Team began to put in place the processes and documentation required to comply with the International Finance Corporation’s Performance Standard 1 (IFC PS1) – an Environmental and Social Management System (ESMS). Being new to the standard, Apex reached out to Anthesis for guidance on how best to implement the requirements.

Our Solutions

Anthesis interviewed core personnel responsible for business areas integral to the new ESMS to gauge the alignment level of their current processes against the standard.

After reviewing this information, as well as a series of shared documents, Anthesis provided a succinct report to the Apex team with guidance on how to interpret each of the 9 areas of IFC PS1 – including topics such as policy, stakeholder engagement, and organizational capacity and competency.

We appreciated Anthesis’s open and friendly approach. We felt comfortable sharing our ambitions and in turn received really helpful advice and support.

Offsetting Carbon Emissions through High-Quality Projects

The Situation

Rider Levett Bucknall (RLB), a leading global property and construction consultancy, is committed to achieving net zero by 2030, excluding supply chain emissions. Recognising that some emissions are currently unavoidable, RLB developed a carbon offsetting strategy aligned to the Oxford Offsetting Principles. The strategy focuses on addressing residual emissions in a credible and future-fit way, while supporting environmental regeneration and social development.

To ensure high integrity, RLB only invests in carbon credits from Gold Standard or Verified Carbon Standard (VCS) projects that deliver measurable contributions to the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The company also sought to increase the share of carbon removals in its portfolio over time, in line with evolving best practices.

To help guide this work, RLB partnered with Anthesis, a world-leading sustainability consultancy with expertise in carbon markets, to identify and source projects aligned with its values and climate targets.

Our Solution

Working together, RLB and Anthesis selected two high-impact carbon projects that reflect RLB’s ambition to go beyond emissions reduction and deliver co-benefits for people and nature:

Biochar Project—United States

This project involves the use of pyrolysis plants to convert biomass into high-quality engineered biochar, a stable form of carbon that can be permanently stored in soils. As a carbon removal technology, biochar both locks away CO₂ and enhances soil health, water retention, and agricultural productivity.

  • Covers: RLB’s Scope 1 and 2 emissions
  • SDGs supported: 12 – Responsible Consumption and Production; 13 – Climate Action; 15 – Life on Land

Reforestation Project—Tanzania

This community-led initiative restores degraded land in southwest Tanzania through sustainable reforestation practices. It supports biodiversity, improves ecosystem services such as water and soil quality, and enhances livelihoods through employment, carbon income, and infrastructure investment.

  • Covers: Emissions from international flights, rail and taxi journeys, and hotel stays
  • SDGs supported: 1 – No Poverty; 4 – Quality Education; 5 – Gender Equality; 8 – Decent Work; 13 – Climate Action; 15 – Life on Land.

Identifying the Environmental Impacts of iGii Biosensors through Life Cycle Assessment https://www.anthesisgroup.com/case-studies/identifying-the-environmental-impacts-of-igii-biosensors-through-lifecycle-assessment/ Fri, 30 May 2025 13:33:11 +0000 https://www.anthesisgroup.com/?post_type=case-study&p=64261

Identifying the Environmental Impacts of iGii Biosensors through Life Cycle Assessment

The Situation

iGii, a nanotechnology engineering company, has developed Gii, a 3D carbon nanomaterial created to replace traditional materials like noble metals, graphene, and screen-printed carbon. It is easier to produce, more cost-effective, and better suited to modern manufacturing needs. iGii works with companies across diagnostics, environmental testing, and sensing to integrate Gii into new products.

iGii approached Anthesis for Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) support, as they wanted to gain insights into the impact categories in which they can provide the greatest alignment to their customers’ sustainability aims and identify environmental impact hotspots within their sensors.

In this project, Anthesis used LCA to compare iGii sensor impacts to alternative biosensors on the market in order to understand differences in environmental impact.

Our Solutions

Anthesis worked with iGii to produce screening LCA models of 4 different iGii sensors using primary data supplied by iGii. Results were reported across 4 different environmental impact categories. The results were used to identify hotspots within the 4 different sensor types.

In addition to modelling the 4 iGii sensors, Anthesis produced screening LCAs of 4 alternative biosensors available on the market. This market analysis was then compared to the iGii results to better understand differences in environmental impact between iGii products and the alternative biosensors.

Anthesis provided iGii with a full-length report detailing the screening LCA results and comparisons, as well as an executive summary highlighting key takeaways from the analysis.

Working with Anthesis was a great experience. Their ability to quickly grasp the complexity of our proprietary 3D nanocarbon material and manufacturing process was impressive. As a scaling business working across a variety of sectors, we presented a unique set of needs in wanting to understand our products’ impact, and they provided a methodical yet tailored approach.

Rebecca Reilly, Head of People and Programmes, and Martha Fantom, Sustainability Engineer

Anthesis’ deep technical insight in chemistry and engineering made it easy to discuss ideas and navigate complex processes. Our internal sustainability team looked forward to meeting with them every week, and their presentation of data to multi-level audiences was clear and concise.  In addition, their openness to engaging with members of our wider team received excellent feedback across the organisation.

Rebecca Reilly, Head of People and Programmes, and Martha Fantom, Sustainability Engineer

Most importantly, Anthesis’ screening LCA study provided us with confidence in the positive impact of our technology, Gii, and the actions we can take to further the positive impact of our technology, long into the future. As a result, we are excited and, importantly, equipped with the knowledge in how to start implementing further ways to improve our products’ environmental impact.

Rebecca Reilly, Head of People and Programmes, and Martha Fantom, Sustainability Engineer

Impacts of the Project

Contributions to a Global Packaging Data Standard https://www.anthesisgroup.com/case-studies/contributions-to-a-global-packaging-data-standard/ Mon, 26 May 2025 19:33:34 +0000 https://www.anthesisgroup.com/?post_type=case-study&p=64207

Contributions to a Global Packaging Data Standard

The Situation

Packaging materials and corresponding data often move through global supply chains with little transparency or consistency, and small differences and irregularities make data exchange challenging and costly for business.

Meanwhile, regulatory reporting and compliance requirements for packaging are increasing globally, and while some bespoke and proprietary standards exist to meet these requirements, they are often context-specific and not universally applicable.

Members of the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD) need to exchange packaging-related data with various stakeholders during the packaging life cycle, from the product’s development stage to its end-of-life. Throughout the process, members face challenges accessing and exchanging consistent, complete, comprehensive, and accurate packaging-related data.

Our Solutions

Working under the mandate of the WBCSD’s Packaging Data Exchange workstream, Anthesis worked closely with WBCSD members to conduct a comprehensive analysis of key regulatory frameworks, models, and standards relevant to packaging data across the global landscape, taking an important step toward developing a global packaging data standard.

The data sets selected for the sample were then segregated into natural sub-groupings to enable evaluation within their operationally comparable contexts. A set of key packaging-specific metrics was then compiled to frame the assessment, with individual metrics further grouped by type.

The metric groupings then provided the lens through which to compare the data requirements identified within the regulatory frameworks, data models, and standards selected for evaluation. The comprehensive review of the data points, taxonomies, and usage of the metrics within each group identified the context of each data set, and the commonalities and divergences among them.

Individual Metrics Assessed:

  • General material metrics: types, subtypes, weight, size, and component-related information.
  • Material-specific metrics: material sources, certifications, recycled content sources, end-of-life treatment.
  • Environmental metrics: emissions, resource consumption, waste generation, and repairability.
  • Component metrics: form, function, and additives.
  • Product metrics: labelling and distribution channel.

Access the Full Report

Our analysis focused on regulations, standards, and data models currently in place around the world.

Impacts of the Project

Anthesis Arrow

Strong Foundations

Our review concluded that, while commonalities exist, packaging data sets varied according to the nuanced use of that data within its relevant context. Through detailed interrogation of the data standards landscape, the Open 3P open data standard was determined to be the most comprehensive standard available. Upon consideration by the WBCSD membership, it was agreed that the Open3P standard would form a strong foundation for further advocacy on standardised packaging data capture and exchange.

Anthesis Arrow

Actionable Next Steps

The insights gained from this project will feed into the WBCSD’s continued work on circularity data and will form an important pillar for further work to be undertaken through the WBCSD Circular Products and Materials (CPM) Pathway. As next steps, the organisation will explore the potential to use the open-source standard Open3P as an advanced point of departure to drive the refinement and adoption of a global standard for packaging data capture and for data sharing in the circular packaging value chain.

Assessing the Impact of Insulation for Swedisol https://www.anthesisgroup.com/case-studies/impact-of-insulation-swedisol/ Tue, 11 Mar 2025 16:04:52 +0000 https://anthesisglobal.wpenginepowered.com/?post_type=case-study&p=63556

Assessing the Impact of Insulation for Swedisol

The Situation

There is often a preconceived idea that the upfront carbon impact of insulation outweighs the environmental savings of the insulation benefits in operation. ​

As a result, the insulation company Swedisol wanted to investigate the effect of thicker mineral wool insulation in new construction and additional insulation into renovations from a life cycle approach to climate, energy and cost benefits.​

The purpose of the project was to analyse the insulation based on:​

  • The time for repayment of the investment cost for the insulation from a private and socio-economic perspective.​
  • The time it takes to save the same amount of energy used in the production of mineral wool insulation.​
  • The time it takes for the insulation to reduce energy use and thus climate emissions so that the reduction corresponds to the climate emissions in the production of the insulation.​

Explore our property sector expertise

Discover how Anthesis can support your sustainability ambitions.

Our Solutions

Anthesis developed an Excel-based tool that takes input values ​​in the form of a building’s energy use and geographical location and compare it to the climate and cost impact of producing the mineral wool insulation. The tool calculates the number of years it takes to pay back the energy used, and the emissions produced for the production and installation of the insulation. ​Factors that were examined included:​

  • U-value and thermal resistance and the energy use during the building’s lifetime. ​
  • Energy use and climate impact in the production of insulation; based on an average of the stated energy use and climate impact in the EPDs of the mineral wool insulation manufacturers who are members of the trade organisation Swedisol. This is after adjusting the values ​​presented in the EPDs so that they represent the same properties (functional unit, thermal resistance)​
  • Climate investment cost​
  • Private and socio-economic value of the energy savings.​

Impacts of the Project

The assessment provided Swedisol a picture of synergies and conflicts of interest with the installation of thicker mineral wool insulation or additional insulation.

It also gave the company the background on the key factors that impact the result to better understand how they could improve high impact aspects.

Lastly, Swedisol was provided a functioning Excel tool that gives the company the ongoing opportunity to change some of the parameters, test different option and see how this impacts the result to continue to work towards the optimum solution for each of the building scenarios.

Comparative, ISO-Compliant LCA and LCA Training for Hughes Energy Group https://www.anthesisgroup.com/case-studies/lca-and-lca-training-for-hughes-energy-group/ Tue, 11 Feb 2025 16:49:25 +0000 https://anthesisglobal.wpenginepowered.com/?post_type=case-study&p=62715

Comparative, ISO-Compliant LCA and LCA Training for Hughes Energy Group

The Situation

Hughes Energy Group (HEG) is pioneering a low-carbon fiber production method called the Wilson System® that converts organic municipal solid waste (MSW) sources (including food, paper, etc.) into useable fiber for corrugated products, enabling a new recycling system for organic waste.

HEG turned to Anthesis for a robust analysis of the environmental impacts of the Wilson System® in comparison to impacts from the disposal of organic waste in a landfill.

To develop their internal capacity to conduct their own LCAs in the future, and to ensure HEG’s executive team was empowered to fully exploit learnings from LCAs, HEG requested training in LCA fundamentals, the ISO standard, and modeling using SimaPro.

Our Solutions

Anthesis worked with HEG to develop a model of a full-scale Wilson System® based on lab-scale, experimental data. We then conducted an ISO-compliant comparative LCA that assessed environmental impacts from cradle to grave for 10 environmental indicators.

Anthesis determined that HEG’s Wilson System® reduces global warming impacts by 526 kg CO2eq. per ton of organic MSW as compared to disposal in a landfill. HEG’s yearly production of  containerboard (50% Wilson fiber, 50% old corrugated containers) diverts 175,000 tons MSW from landfills and saves 66,582 tons CO2eq. (100yr GWP).

Validating SBTi Net Zero Targets for LIPTON Teas & Infusions https://www.anthesisgroup.com/case-studies/lipton-teas-and-infusions-sbt-net-zero/ Fri, 07 Feb 2025 09:24:36 +0000 https://anthesisglobal.wpenginepowered.com/?post_type=case-study&p=62594

Validating SBTi Net Zero Targets for LIPTON Teas & Infusions

The Situation

LIPTON Teas and Infusions is the world’s largest tea business, with world-class brands that are household names such as Lipton, Pukka, TAZO, T2 and PG Tips. The company has production sites in four continents and a presence in more than 100 countries.

Anthesis Group was engaged to complete a GHG inventory, and support LIPTON Teas and Infusions in the establishment of their Science Based Targets (including Forest, Land and Agriculture – FLAG targets).

Alongside this, Anthesis worked with LIPTON Teas and Infusions to develop a decarbonisation roadmap, which would facilitate understanding of target feasibility, and identification of the opportunities for greatest impact to achieve an ambitious net-zero target across its entire value chain by 2040.

Our Solutions

Anthesis provided:

  • A full GHG inventory for scope 1, 2, 3 and FLAG emissions.
  • Support and guidance throughout the SBTi submission & target validation process (including FLAG targets).
  • Identification and quantification of decarbonisation levers in sessions with Anthesis experts from agri-food, packaging, manufacturing, supply chain, change management, and climate alongside LIPTON Teas and Infusions’ supply-chain, research and innovation, and manufacturing teams.
  • An assessment of LIPTON Teas and Infusions’ overall business model to identify barriers and opportunities.
  • A reduction roadmap to model the impact of decarbonisation measures.
  • A change impact assessment to identify internal and external stakeholder groups that would be critical to successful implementation of decarbonisation measures.

Impacts of the Project

The high-level reduction roadmap that was developed is ambitious but remains realistic and pragmatic. It balances the need to lay the foundations for a long-term business transformation with the need for rapid decarbonisation to meet LIPTON Teas and Infusions’ now validated near-term and long-term science-based, net-zero targets.

LIPTON Teas and Infusions is now focused on early intervention to decouple growth from GHG emissions, reducing business constraints and introducing stretch goals.

By establishing a Science Based Target, and executing its reduction roadmap, LIPTON Teas and Infusions can lead not only in the market but also set a precedent, leading by example for its suppliers.

Anthesis was an invaluable partner in helping us, as a newly independent company, chart our path to net zero. Having our science-based targets subsequently validated has provided crucial confirmation that we are making meaningful progress.

Conducting Life Cycle Assessments of Garden Cities for TMF https://www.anthesisgroup.com/case-studies/life-cycle-assessments-garden-cities-tmf/ Sat, 25 Jan 2025 16:01:00 +0000 https://anthesisglobal.wpenginepowered.com/?post_type=case-study&p=63550

Conducting Life Cycle Assessments of Garden Cities for TMF

The Situation

The dense, compact city model has long been considered the ideal design that creates environmentally sustainable cities. TMF wanted to understand how so-called garden cities performed from both a social and environmental sustainability aspect compared to these denser city models. ​

The definition of a garden city has its origin in Ebenezer Howard description of garden cities from 1898. Howard described the garden city as ”A combination of the advantages of the most energetic and active town life, with all the beauty and delight of the country”.

Our study showed that garden cities are in several respects more sustainable than dense, compact cities – from a climate, environmental and socio-economic perspective.

Explore our property sector expertise

Discover how Anthesis can support your sustainability ambitions.

Our Solutions

Anthesis performed a detailed Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of the Greenhouse Gas Emissions associated with the buildings, green areas and parking spaces for three representative garden cities and three compact city models in Sweden. In addition, we undertook a survey study of over 1000 people in relation to the socioeconomic value of the ecosystem services for the two scenarios as established for the LCA. ​

The study showed that garden cities are more sustainable than dense, compact cities from a climate, environmental and socio-economic perspective and that garden cities have a lower climate impact – both in total and per capita from housing and transport infrastructure. In summary the results suggested:​

  • Garden cities meet residents’ wishes for housing to a much greater extent​
  • Garden cities provide increased social sustainability through increased security, a sense of belonging and access to green areas. ​
  • Garden cities have a higher value for ecosystem services – Both in total and per capita​

Impacts of the Project

The conclusion is that we must change how we plan and build our cities and communities, and make more room for garden cities because they contribute to increased sustainability while delivering the type of housing that most people in Sweden want to live in. ​

The detailed assessments that formed part of the project will enable the client to drive the development of garden cities with a clear understanding of its social and environmental value.

Developing a Custom Design for Sustainability Program for Culligan https://www.anthesisgroup.com/case-studies/developing-a-custom-design-for-sustainability-program-for-culligan/ Tue, 03 Dec 2024 16:56:21 +0000 https://anthesisglobal.wpenginepowered.com/?post_type=case-study&p=60954

Developing a Custom Design for Sustainability Program for Culligan

Transforming how sustainability is addressed in product development

The Situation

Culligan set an ambitious goal to assess 100% of its new products for ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) aspects by 2030. With increasing pressure from customers and regulators to prioritise sustainability, the company recognized the need for a structured approach to integrate sustainable practices into product design without compromising performance.

To support Culligan’s goal, Anthesis developed a custom Design for Sustainability (DfS) program for their products. This program enables Culligan’s product design and development teams to identify and act on opportunities that enhance sustainable performance as seamlessly as they would address other critical design aspects like reliability or cost-effectiveness.

Our Solutions

Key elements of the DfS program included:

  • Sustainability Opportunity Identification: We provided training and tools to help the design teams pinpoint where sustainability improvements could be embedded, such as reducing material usage, selecting better materials, improving energy efficiency, and enhancing recyclability of filter components.
  • Integration with the New Product Development (NPD) Process: The DfS program was strategically embedded within Culligan’s existing NPD process, ensuring that sustainability considerations were a natural part of each stage, from initial concept and design through to production and end-of-life planning.
  • LCA as a Decision-Making Tool: Lifecycle assessment (LCA) served as the core metric for assessing environmental impacts across a product’s lifecycle, from material sourcing and production to end-of-life disposal. By using LCA, teams were able to quantify impacts and make informed decisions on materials, processes, and design options.

True innovation isn’t about creating more; it’s about designing better—balancing progress, growth, responsibility, and efficiency with empathy for the planet. Guided by Anthesis, our product, design, and engineering teams have made our products more sustainable throughout their entire lifecycle.

Harmony Energy Income Trust’s Climate and Nature Disclosures https://www.anthesisgroup.com/case-studies/harmony-energy-income-trusts-climate-and-nature-disclosures/ Fri, 22 Nov 2024 09:04:29 +0000 https://anthesisglobal.wpenginepowered.com/?post_type=case-study&p=61612

Harmony Energy Income Trust’s Path to Award-Winning Climate and Nature Disclosures

Driving excellence with integrated climate and nature risk management and disclosures.

The Situation

As an investor in battery energy storage systems (BESS) and renewable energy generation projects, Harmony Energy Income Trust (HEIT) sought to enhance its understanding, management, and disclosure of climate-and nature-related risks and opportunities. Based in the UK, HEIT’s business model supports and depends on a successful net-zero transition and thriving natural ecosystems, making climate and nature integral to the company’s strategy.

HEIT approached Anthesis for disclosure support in line with the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) and Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) frameworks, as well as complementary reporting frameworks including the Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI) and Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR).

Through the partnership, HEIT integrated both climate and nature into a single assessment report, reflecting their interconnectedness and importance to the company’s mission. With our deep technical expertise, HEIT was able to align its reporting with best practices and navigate the complexities of voluntary disclosure.

Our Solutions

Anthesis experts designed a comprehensive approach to support HEIT’s understanding, management and disclosure of climate- and nature-related risks and opportunities. Key elements of this approach included:

  • Running parallel workstreams to support PRI and SFDR disclosures, generating content and metrics that could be seamlessly integrated into the final report.
  • Facilitating an in-depth workshop to screen and identify combined climate- and nature-related risks and opportunities, engaging stakeholders from across the organisation. prepare for mandatory reporting in 2026, on 2025 data. ​
  • Determining disclosure priorities by aligning with industry peers and assessing the anticipated financial impact. 
  • Incorporating all key value chain stages and business model activities within the risk and opportunity screening process to ensure a comprehensive evaluation. 

Anthesis brought together experts from their climate and nature teams to support Harmony Energy Income Trust to assess and report climate- and nature-related risks and opportunities in a financial context. Their in-depth knowledge of the TCFD and TNFD frameworks was invaluable in providing an increased understanding of the disclosure process.

Nutresa’s ESG Transformation:

Centralising Sustainability Data Across 52 Plants with Mero

The Situation

Nutresa faced significant challenges in managing and consolidating ESG data across its 52 production plants, 32 companies, and 8 business units. The existing process involved manually collecting data from business teams via Excel files, which were then processed and consolidated by the Sustainability team.

Transforming ESG Management

How Celsia Streamlined Reporting with Mero

The Situation

Celsia struggled with inefficient ESG data management processes, relying heavily on manual methods using Word and Excel files. Sustainability disclosures were limited to static PDF reports, which restricted the ability to communicate progress dynamically and engage stakeholders effectively.

The Situation

To address the challenges posed by climate change and global warming, Almirall has developed a plan focused on reducing its global carbon footprint and achieving Net Zero emissions by 2050. 

To reach this goal, it is essential to involve all teams in the process so that they understand the role they must play in implementing the necessary measures. One of these key teams was the procurement team. 

Our Solutions

Almirall entrusted Anthesis with providing training on Climate Change to the Procurement and External Sites Operations teams, enabling them to develop a greater understanding of climate change and the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. 

The goal of this training experience was to educate them on the importance of carbon management and climate change mitigation, particularly related to supplier management and Scope 3 carbon emissions. Additionally, this training aimed to encourage Almirall’s procurement team to strengthen their commitment to sustainability and align business practices with the organisation’s emission reduction objectives. 

 The training plan consisted of 

  • Online onboarding session (30 min) 
  • E-learning module (1h), composed of 3 modules of autonomous work to be completed before attending the face-to-face session. 
  • Group face-to-face session (4h) with two people from the Anthesis team: an expert in climate change and decarbonisation and a session facilitator from the educational team. 
  • Final evaluation 

We are very satisfied with the training on climate change and the Net Zero strategy conducted with Anthesis. This experience has strengthened our procurement teams’ commitment to sustainability and will allow us to make decisions more aligned with our carbon footprint reduction objectives, thereby establishing a corporate culture focused on sustainability.

Developing Impact Measurement Metrics for the Safer Chemistry Impact Fund https://www.anthesisgroup.com/case-studies/developing-impact-measurement-metrics-for-the-safer-chemistry-impact-fund/ Tue, 10 Sep 2024 13:49:39 +0000 https://anthesisglobal.wpenginepowered.com/?post_type=case-study&p=60002

Developing Impact Measurement Metrics for the Safer Chemistry Impact Fund

The Situation

The Safer Chemistry Impact Fund (the Fund) was established to accelerate the transition from hazardous chemicals to safer alternatives. Within the next five years, it aims to target four consumer-facing supply chains, such as auto, electronics, and apparel, to embed safer chemistry metrics and tools. The Fund was fiscally sponsored by the Windward Fund, with initial investment from Apple and Google. It will fund non-profit initiatives to identify, scale, and measure impact solutions to embed safer chemistry across supply chains as the standard operating system. 

The Fund has four components: Data Trust, Impact Programs, a Knowledge Hub and Metrics to measure the transition to safer chemistry. The Metrics are essential to achieving the mission and will play a key role in the Fund. 

Goals for the metrics development project included:  

  • Understanding the leading ideas related to safer chemistry metrics;  
  • Developing a vision for the next three to five years;  
  • Refining and validating a framework for safer chemistry impact metrics to guide this transition; and  
  • Identifying priorities for the deployment of capital to strategically accelerate progress and quantifying the replacement of toxic chemicals with verified safer chemistry. 

Our Solutions

The Fund engaged Anthesis to conduct work on understanding the landscape around chemical management and safer chemistry adoption and measurement. Anthesis led a series of stakeholder engagement exercises, including interviews and both in-person and virtual workshops, and developed metrics to measure progress towards and the impact of adopting preferred or low-concern chemicals.  

Key outputs: 

  • Landscape analysis and interview summaries outlining approaches, key challenges, successes, and areas of divergent thought around chemical management and safer chemistry adoption and measurement.  
  • Collaborative in-person workshops with impact leaders were a productive addition to this work, allowing for conversations to flow and discussion of practical, implementable steps and metrics to facilitate reaching a necessary future state. 
  • Refined Metrics and feedback on the final evolution of Metrics for the Fund to evaluate its operations, encourage companies, brands, and retailers to start building a baseline and set actions and goals around a safer chemistry transition. 

Key findings: 

  • Access to consistent chemical hazard data is the key enabler of these efforts. 
  • Sector-specific considerations for transparency efforts and safer alternatives require different approaches, which lead to the sector focus of the work. 
  • Action by all members of the supply chain is needed to drive these efforts, and data access and reporting can help facilitate transparency and progress. 

Data analytics will provide a solid foundation for setting goals and measuring progress towards chemical hazard reduction. The Fund will then build upon these to create a docket of programs and projects to activate systems change across supply chains, and catalyse a collaborative, multi-stakeholder movement for safer chemistry.

Bill Walsh, Director, Safer Chemistry Impact Fund

Collaborating on the Updated 2024 SBTN Guidance

The Situation

The Science-Based Targets Network (SBTN) was looking to revise its technical guidance for setting corporate nature targets. SBTN chose Anthesis to act as lead facilitator of a working group aimed at providing improved technical guidance to support companies in estimating nature-related impacts of key commodities.

Following an informative pilot program, the Science-Based Targets Network (SBTN) has unveiled its 2024 updated technical guidance for setting corporate nature targets. The revised guidance and enabling materials enhance the methodology for land and freshwater targets.

In preparation for this important update, SBTN chose Anthesis to act as lead facilitator of an expert working group focused on addressing guidance related to Upstream Target Boundary B., part of Step 2: Interpret & Prioritize.

Our Solutions

In order to set Science-Based Targets for Nature, it is critical for companies to understand where and how their supply chain interfaces with nature. Unfortunately, gathering the information needed to make these assessments has proven difficult for many companies. Thus, SBTN’s collaboration with Anthesis served to offer improved technical guidance that would support companies in better estimating the impacts of key commodities on nature.

In this lead facilitator role, Anthesis experts organized and guided working group sessions to develop an outline of the revised guidance and a proposal of supporting tools and resources. They also identified gaps and opportunities that could be leveraged to better support companies in collecting supplier data. Through an iterative review process, the working group then drafted the final guidance to be included in the update.

A fundamental highlight in this update includes new direction on addressing the traceability of high-impact commodities. This is a significant milestone as we work to accelerate a nature-positive future.

Anthesis is a proud delivery partner for the SBTN, and our team is thrilled to have contributed to the development of these new guidance materials. We are here to support clients in navigating SBTN’s target-setting procedures.

What are Science-Based Targets for Nature?

Science-based targets for nature (SBTs) are measurable, actionable, and time-bound goals that ambitious companies set to align business activities with our planetary boundaries and sustainability objectives. Companies that wish to drive action for nature and optimize their value chains are encouraged to apply the guidance and resources developed by the SBTN to assess and prioritize impacts on freshwater, land, ocean, and biodiversity so that they may set valuable nature targets.

Unlocking Sustainability Goals with Circular Business Models

The Situation

One of the world’s largest global retailers recently set an ambitious circularity goal: having 100% of owned brand products be designed for a circular future by 2040.

Successfully achieving this requires the development of synergistic relationships between products and systems – circularity cannot be achieved with just product or business design, but with both being considered in relation to one another and, most importantly, in the context of the consumer experience.

Our Solutions

To support this circularity goal, Anthesis identified opportunities for circular business models that would solve pain points for customers, enable and scale new sources of revenue, and create systems for closed-loop recycling.

We designed the customer experience, the operations model, the selection of service providers to support implementation, and a three-year, pro-forma profit and loss (P&L) statement for four circular business models.

Developing a Sustainability Supply Chain Strategy in Cosmetics

The Situation

A leading personal care company wanted to define an authentic and purpose-led sustainability strategy and future-facing operating model to power their next phase of growth.

Our Solutions

Anthesis developed a comprehensive sustainability strategy using our unique methodology, the Activator Journey. We began by developing an in-depth research insights report which included a current state assessment, peer benchmarking, stakeholder perspectives, and a company-wide supply chain evaluation.

Leveraging these insights, Anthesis identified four key impact areas, focusing on the company’s packaging, formulation, manufacturing, and logistics. Anthesis developed goals based on these impact areas and outlined the prioritized actions for the coming years, along with corresponding KPIs to monitor progress.

Given the company’s B Corp certification, the strategy also highlighted how advancing these initiatives would improve the company’s B Impact Assessment (BIA) score.

With these foundations in place, Anthesis developed a strategic framework to guide decision-making and sustainability efforts. In addition, Anthesis created implementation roadmaps across the four priority impact areas to ensure clear and actionable steps for execution.

Anthesis supported Pownall and Hampson to deliver an ESG Action https://www.anthesisgroup.com/case-studies/anthesis-supported-pownall-and-hampson-to-deliver-an-esg-action/ Wed, 08 May 2024 12:31:10 +0000 https://anthesisglobal.wpenginepowered.com/?post_type=case-study&p=58130

Anthesis supported Pownall and Hampson to deliver an ESG Action Plan

The Situation

Pownall and Hampson, a textile and bedding products manufacturer based in Dublin, Ireland had been implementing sustainability practices for a number of years but were looking for support and direction to apply a more strategic approach to their work.

They also wanted to understand which regulations would impact the business and how they might respond, how peers and customers were approaching sustainability, and where they could drive the most impact as a medium-sized business in the textile and homewares sector..  

Our Solutions

Anthesis supported Pownall and Hampson with the following steps to deliver an ESG Action Plan.

  • ESG Strategy Action Plan: Anthesis used the learnings from the first phases to develop a bespoke ESG a strategic framework and an action plan consisting of a series of short- to long-term activities to embed sustainability across the business. Pownall & Hampson’s ESG framework was aligned to specific Sustainable Development Goals that align closely with the business’ values and aspirations.
  • Landscape and Regulatory Review: Pownall and Hampson gained a deeper understanding of ESG in the landscape it operates in and the international and national regulations that impact its operations. During this process Pownall and Hampson learned about the strategic focus areas of its peers and key customers which helped the company to identify key ESG-related risks and opportunities existing in the broader value chain.
  • ESG ‘Health-check’: An ESG Health Check was carried out to review existing practices against various ESG topic areas (such as Raw Materials, Carbon Emissions, Supply Chain Management) and the progress Pownall and Hampson had made. This process also allowed the company to identify areas for improvement across key topical areas.
  • Action Plan Workshop: The company’s management team participated in a workshop where these topics, risks and opportunities were discussed and prioritised building the foundations for the company’s strategic framework.

The team at Pownall and Hampson were delighted to work with Anthesis to develop an ESG Action Plan. Anthesis’s dedication to understanding our needs was evident throughout the process. The on site workshop was especially beneficial, sparking insightful discussion on how ESG would align to our company’s values and overall business strategy. As a team we thoroughly enjoyed this project and hope to work with Anthesis in the future.

Developing a Sustainable Products Framework for RS Group https://www.anthesisgroup.com/case-studies/developing-a-claims-based-sustainable-products-framework-for-rs-group/ Wed, 03 Apr 2024 16:12:49 +0000 https://anthesisglobal.wpenginepowered.com/?post_type=case-study&p=57810

Developing a Claims-based, Sustainable Products Framework for RS Group

The Situation

RS Group is a global provider of product and service solutions for designers, builders and maintainers of industrial equipment and operations. The organisation required support with the second phase of work of its ‘Better World’ programme – a framework to highlight to customers products that are more sustainable. For this phase, RS Group wanted to extend the Better World programme by developing a robust evidence-based model for product claims aligned with the latest green claims guidance and emerging regulations.

The main aims of the project were to assist RS Group in defining the claims-based framework, evidence requirements and verification criteria, ensuring an appropriate governance process was in place, and lastly training RS Group’s teams on the framework and legislative requirements.

Our Solutions

  • Claims type assessment: In the first stage, we reviewed each of the 15 claim types that RS Group wanted to make following Anthesis’ claims risk assessment methodology, assessing the characteristics, evidence and terminology associated with the claim across the product lifecycle.
  • Thresholds: We then defined the minimum standards (i.e. thresholds) for a credible product claim for each claim type, such as a minimum amount of recycled material. This involved researching the industry standards and norms for each claim type to establish what a more sustainable product would have to meet.
  • Evidence requirements: We defined the evidence requirements for each claim type, such as Life Cycle Assessments and third-party certifications, and outlined the minimum requirements that must be met to ensure that claims are backed by robust, credible evidence that stands up to scrutiny.
  • Verification process: We created a decision tree framework to enable RS Group to confidently verify the product and determine its eligibility for a claim, based on factors such as characteristics and available evidence, and highlighting where there would be particular watch-outs or high-risk factors.
  • Governance: We assisted RS Group in further developing its claims governance processes to ensure a consistent approach to ensuring the quality of the claims being made and managing risk.
  • Training: With the framework defined and ready for launch, we ran a training session for internal teams on the claims framework and legislative requirements.

These results were delivered to RS through reports, face-to-face workshops, and training sessions.

A huge thank you to the whole Anthesis team for supporting us to reach this important milestone. It’s been a pleasure working with you.

Andrea Barrett, VP of Social Responsibility and Sustainability

It’s been a fantastic project to be part of, and a real pleasure to work with you. Safe to say we would not be in the position we are today without Anthesis.

Developing Research for the British International Investment Emerging Economies Climate Report

The Situation

Anthesis is proud to have assisted British International Investment (BII) with its 2023 Emerging Economies Climate Report.

The report looks at how the climate crisis affects businesses in emerging economies to raise awareness of the impacts of climate change now and in the future, and the investment needed to support these businesses.

Our Solutions

On behalf of BII, Anthesis surveyed senior representatives from across BII’s portfolio in Africa and Asia to understand how the climate crisis is affecting them and how businesses are positioned to respond to the global net zero transition.

To take a deeper dive into understanding what climate risk adaptation and mitigation looks like in these regions, Anthesis also undertook several interviews with survey participants.

Anthesis designed the survey in line with key elements of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD), an international framework to help businesses disclose climate-related risks and opportunities. Anthesis then analysed this research, making comparisons against our research from the previous year, and developed the report.

Key findings from the report

  • 79% of businesses said climate change is impacting their organisation today, up from 68% in 2022.
  • 59% said extreme climate events have impacted their firm. Flooding, drought and extreme heat are the top physical climate risks.
  • 97% agreed that organisations that take steps to reduce carbon emissions and vulnerability to physical climate change risks will be more successful in the long term – up from 91% in 2022.
  • Encouragingly, firms are building skills and approaches to tackle and respond to climate change. Most respondents (65%) have adapted their business strategy in response to climate change. And more respondents (45%) are calculating their carbon footprint, up from 38% in 2022.
  • Yet there’s much more work to be done. Businesses have fundamental concerns about climate change but most are not yet financially planning in response. In many cases, this is because they lack the necessary knowledge and resources.
  • There is an opportunity for investors of all types to step up their support.

Just Transition Action in the Technology Sector

The Situation

Anthesis conducted research for a leading multinational technology company on just transition action in Europe, analysing the ecological and social dimensions aligned with a Just Transition that the company could pursue to support its climate and decarbonisation goals of achieving net zero by 2040.

To continue progress with their climate commitments, the company needed a strategic plan to inform their current and future work and assess the opportunities and risks associated with a just transition.

The client was also seeking a better understanding of the just transition to inform their practices and workforce of the importance of a sustainable and equitable shift to a low carbon economy.

Our Solutions

Anthesis conducted a study to assess a just transition in Europe and to understand the movement’s broader implications on society. Key elements of the study included:

  • An assessment of nine European countries to identify key social and environmental issues
  • A review of policies, organisations, and groups related to a just transition
  • An analysis of the ecological and social dimensions aligned with a just transition the company could pursue to achieve its climate goals.

Anthesis developed a high-level Just Transition Strategy that outlined how the company could effectively engage with Europe’s just transition movements.

Delivering GAP Analysis to Comply with the CSRD for Fagor Group  https://www.anthesisgroup.com/case-studies/delivering-gap-analysis-to-comply-with-the-csrd-for-fagor-group/ Tue, 27 Feb 2024 09:03:10 +0000 https://anthesisglobal.wpenginepowered.com/?post_type=case-study&p=57454

Delivering GAP Analysis to Comply with the CSRD for Fagor Group

The Situation

Fagor Group is the largest industrial cooperative group in the Basque Country and it offers advanced technological solutions to customers all over the world. Fagor Group needed technical assistance preparing its sustainability reports and Non-Financial Reporting Statements.

Considering the recent changes derived from the entry into force of the CSRD during the last quarter of 2023, Anthesis provided assistance to identify those aspects in which the cooperatives must advance and improve in its reporting to better respond to the new regulatory requirements. 

Fagor set out goals including to: 

  • Draw up a roadmap for Fagor Group cooperatives to align with the CSRD in time before its application (in the case of Fagor in 2026 with information from 2025). 
  • Promote an approach to the new CSRD Directive to anticipate the requirements and new methodology. 
  • Study and identify the new requirements of the CSRD and ESRS indicators. 
  • Train the team at the cooperatives on the new Directive, emphasising the new requirements, the implications and the changes to be included in the report. 
  • Conduct an analysis of the information reported in each cooperative’s Sustainability Reports and NFIs in order to align with the new CSRD requirements and identify gaps to work on. 

Our Solutions

The project consisted of three main phases: the approach, the gap analysis and the roadmap. 

During the approach, a study of the CSRD and ESRS has been carried out in order to gather what this directive and the ESRS requirements consist of, and to align the material issues of the cooperatives with the new directive. 

Then, during the GAP analysis, an evaluation of the current reporting in the EINF and Sustainability Report documents was carried out to determine the level of compliance with the Directive. In accordance with this analysis, the mandatory requirements covered, partially covered and not covered by the reports of the cooperatives have been reviewed to understand the gaps. 

Finally, a roadmap has been prepared with the results of the GAP Analysis to know the next steps and reports to be considered. Therefore, the organisation can get ahead of the regulatory horizon that lies ahead. 

Sustainability is changing the way we understand the role that business has to play in society, and the CSRD will be a new push in that direction. Anthesis’s knowledge and expertise has allowed us to better understand the approach and objectives of the new directive as well as to prepare in time to be able to adapt to the new requirements.

Impacts of the Project

CSRD alignment

The exercise carried out by the cooperatives of the Fagor Group allows it to prepare in time to respond, as far as possible, to all those requirements established by the ESRS standards and the CSRD, which will mean, in the coming months, adapting internal processes, policies and procedures in ESG matters. This will facilitate the way to adapt to the CSRD from a solid base.

Setting Science Based Targets and Decarbonisation Roadmap for New Look

The Situation

New Look, a British global fashion retailer, had the ambition of setting a Science Based Target (SBT), and required support to ensure its GHG inventory was aligned to SBT standards as well as conducting a material specific Purchased Goods & Services assessment for its fibre products.

Following this, a decarbonisation roadmap of what emission reductions could be achieved in the timeframe was required.

Our Solutions

Anthesis carried out a detailed review of New Look’s GHG inventory and identified gaps and weaknesses. Based on this, gaps were filled to ensure that the GHG inventory was accurate and robust. A deep-dive fibre baseline was calculated, and emissions factors were applied for specific materials.

Anthesis also supported with capacity building on various aspects of the inventory, including improving data collection processes for fibres and best practice methodology development. Support was provided during the SBT setting to enable the brand knowledge was captured in the process.

Based on the robust inventory created, Anthesis engaged with all relevant teams to create a clear strategy and roadmap for New Look to decarbonise its operations and supply chain.

Anthesis provided a seamless service, building internal capacity and creating a robust decarbonisation plan which we are able to continuously develop to deliver our SBTs.

Tackling Representation Gaps in the Creative Arts with Life WTR

The Situation

LIFEWTR believes creativity should flow like water. But unfortunately, for years diverse creators have been denied the platform they deserve to have their work seen, limiting the artwork we see in culture. 

Our Solutions

We created Life Unseen, a platform fighting for fair representation in the arts by spotlighting the inequalities that exist.

At its heart was the industry’s biggest ever study of the representation gaps in fashion, music, art and film. Led by research partners QSide, this data acted as our call to arms. To show what’s possible when underrepresented artists are supported, we brought in Issa Rae and commissioned 20 artists to create original work about a story that needed to be told.

Their contributions to the Life Unseen Gallery became 20 new bottles for the brand. Paid media told the real stories of five of them. This was augmented by a new grants programme, with mentioning from Issa, so more underrepresented artists could also see their work get made.

Impacts of the Project

  • 25 artists received support through commissions, funding and mentoring.
  • 3.8 billion impressions, 100% positive sentiment.

Ensuring Coral's Warning Signs are Seen Beyond the Ocean Floor

The Situation

Half of our coral reefs have already died, and the other half are severely threatened. The Ocean Agency needed a branded movement that could inspire brands to raise awareness about their critical plight.

Our Solutions

Before dying coral is bleached of its colour, it performs a luminous colourful display. These warning signs are the most beautiful cry for help you could ever see, but are hidden away beneath the surface.

We created the Glowing Glowing Gone campaign to take this extraordinary warning off the ocean floor, and into popular culture. We started by creating three new colours with Pantone, each representing the glowing display our reefs are making. And through a partnership with Adobe, we invited creatives everywhere to share them.

Impacts of the Project

An army of glowing support followed. From the streets of Notting Hill Carnival, to Times Square, to the World Surf League in Tahiti. And as brands, creatives and media partners embraced our invitation, a wave of earned media impressions helped raise awareness of coral’s plight like never before.

Fighting for a World Where we all Waste Less Water

The Situation

The UK uses more water than it rains – but awareness of how we can save water is low. Our challenge was to encourage Affinity Water’s users across South East England to do their bit and use water more efficiently.

We knew that getting people to change entrenched daily behaviours would take more than appealing to their better nature—we needed to forge a more emotional connection.

Our Solutions

When we discovered that the UK is home to 80% of the world’s chalk streams – a precious natural resource that is more endangered than the Bengal Tiger or the Great Barrier Reef – we knew we had found our fight.

Save our Streams drew people’s attention to the fact the water from their taps is directly connected to this endangered resource. Dry British wit was used to dramatise the extravagant ways people waste water.

Impacts of the Project

Our oversized bath became a symbol of this change, found in OOH, press, DM and a roadshow that toured the region. A hilarious radio campaign visited homes to highlight the residents’ ridiculous water-wasting behaviour. We even hosted a live comedy event in an actual stream.

  • A halo effect saw a +17% improvement in brand trust scores.

Transforming a Corporate Commitment with Budweiser

The Situation

Since 2017, we’ve worked with Budweiser to develop their Better World platform and communicate their bold commitment to brew all Buds with 100% renewable electricity by 2025. 

We knew that Bud’s consumers were eager to help in the fight against climate change, but were feeling helpless about the scale of the challenge ahead.

Our Solutions

To celebrate Earth Day in 2021, we created ‘Together We Can Turn This Around’, a inspiring global campaign that reiterated Budweiser’s commitment, and encouraged others to take action against climate change.

Supporting Inter-American Development Bank to Release Green Hydrogen Report https://www.anthesisgroup.com/case-studies/supporting-the-inter-american-development-bank-to-release-green-hydrogen-report/ Tue, 30 Jan 2024 13:02:33 +0000 https://anthesis1.wpenginepowered.com/?post_type=case-study&p=55637

Supporting Inter-American Development Bank to Release Green Hydrogen Report

The Situation

In 2015, at the 21st Conference of the Parties in Paris, 195 countries signed a legally binding agreement to engage in outlining and implementing national strategies to keep global warming “well below 2°C above pre-industrial levels.”

Achieving this target will require a monumental change in how we use and consume materials and energy. Energy is one of the most carbon-intensive sectors, and green hydrogen – made from the electrolysis of water powered by renewable energy – is a critical element in a viable global solution.

Providing technical support to the bank, Anthesis analysed the National Green Hydrogen Strategies and existing regulatory frameworks as well as any existing green hydrogen projects. A benchmarking exercise was conducted to take into consideration, in addition to the IDB requirements, further international standards, national regulations in different jurisdictions and global technical standards.

Our Solutions

In the absence of a comprehensive set of regulations and practices directly related to green hydrogen – both at national and international levels-  Anthesis experts selected the relevant pieces of regulation and practices currently applied to different sectors and assessed how they applied to the green hydrogen sector.

This study focuses on the following

  • Analysing the main risks, impacts, and mitigation measures of logistics activities related to green hydrogen: e.g., production, transportation, and storage of GH, and associated energy carriers, including ammonia and methanol.
  • Summarising, analysing, and comparing international best practices on EHSS matters for hydrogen management.
  • Analysing the relation with the IDB’s new Environmental and Social Policy Framework (“ESPF”).

The report was led by Anthesis’ Italian team with support from global colleagues.

MarineShift360 Streamlined LCA Tool for the Marine Industry https://www.anthesisgroup.com/case-studies/marineshift360/ Tue, 30 Jan 2024 12:45:16 +0000 https://anthesis1.wpenginepowered.com/?post_type=case-study&p=55629

MarineShift360 Streamlined LCA Tool for the Marine Industry

The Situation

The marine industry, driven by consumer demand and imminent legislative changes, was faced with the imperative to transition towards closed-loop product design. To break away from the linear ‘take-make-waste’ approach and embrace a circular economy, experts from a number of industry-leading organisations, led by Anthesis Group, embarked on a mission to develop a revolutionary Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) tool.

This tool aimed to quantify and understand the environmental impacts of marine products, facilitating a shift towards smarter, more sustainable design choices.

Our Solutions

Anthesis took the lead in ideating and custom-building an LCA tool, MarineShift360. Seven industry-leading businesses—Allen Brothers, Arksen, Emkay Plastics, Multiplast, Princess Yachts, RS Sailing, and Wessex Resins—joined forces to contribute valuable data from their materials and processes.

This collaborative effort formed the backbone of the LCA tool, which measures the entire life cycle of marine products, enabling users to make informed decisions at the design stage. The tool was developed using the knowledge and experience of over 1,250 sustainability experts, and was designed to create a consistent dataset for the marine industry, encouraging data-driven, efficient choices across manufacturing processes.

Use pre-defined assessment templates to enter your unique data;

  • Raw materials
  • Production process
  • Up and Downstream transport
  • Use Phase input
  • EOL processing

MS360 will calculate the environmental impact across 7 impact categories using our uniquely tailored database.

  • GWP (Fossil & Non Fossil)
  • Energy Consumption (Renewable & Non Renewable
  • Mineral Resource Scarcity
  • Water Consumption
  • Marine Eutrophication
  • Waste Factor

The impact data is presented in a configurable dashboard so you can truly understand where your ‘Hotspots’ appear and then simulate the variables to ultimately reduce your impact.

The MS360 Tool helps marine organisations head in a direction that helps reduce environmental impacts, both in manufacturing, use and end-of-life stages, and further clarifies the need to adopt a more circular and transparent approach.

ICOMIA

This unique life cycle assessment tool provides additional incentives to start adopting more sustainable options.

Friedrich Diemann – Managing Director, GreenBoats

Congratulations to the passionate, talented people who have worked for five years to bring this tool to market. Thank you to the DAME Design Award for recognizing the potential of a life cycle assessment tool to create strong innovation. At 11th Hour Racing, we support projects that catalyze change, and MarineShift360’s capacity to enable the marine industry to evaluate and compare materials and investigate sustainable alternatives is unparalleled.

SCATTER Emissions Reporting Tool for Local Authorities https://www.anthesisgroup.com/case-studies/scatter/ Tue, 30 Jan 2024 12:15:30 +0000 https://anthesis1.wpenginepowered.com/?post_type=case-study&p=55625

SCATTER Emissions Reporting Tool for Local Authorities

The Situation

The climate crisis has prompted numerous local authorities across the UK to make declarations and commitments around climate action and sustainability. As these authorities continue to seek effective strategies to reduce carbon emissions, a challenge has arisen around understanding, measuring, and reporting area-wide greenhouse gas emissions accurately.

With many cities pledging significant carbon reduction goals, the need for a comprehensive tool to assess, report, and reduce emissions has become crucial.

Our Solutions

Anthesis, in collaboration with Nottingham City Council, BEIS, Greater Manchester Combined Authority, and the Tyndall Centre for Climate Research at the University of Manchester, developed SCATTER (Setting City Area Targets and Trajectories for Emissions Reduction). SCATTER is a user-friendly, web-based, interactive greenhouse gas reporting tool designed to assist local authorities. It uses various national and local public datasets to quantify outputs without requiring significant resource commitments from local authorities. The tool integrates key technologies such as carbon capture, decarbonising heat, energy efficiency, electrifying transport, and recycling infrastructure improvements.

We’re really pleased to be part of the next phase of the project [Anthesis’ SCATTER city carbon footprint tool], aiming to increase the usability and accessibility of this free-to-use resource. We hope that SCATTER, with its city/regional inventory, carbon budget, reporting outputs and emission reduction pathway scenarios, will help support ambitious carbon reduction objectives around the country, such as Nottingham’s own aim to be carbon neutral by 2028.

Wayne Bexton Head of Energy Services, Nottingham City Council

Impacts of the Project

Anthesis Arrow

Adoption

SCATTER has been adopted by more than 320 local authorities in the UK, with 41 out of 60 UK cities disclosing their emissions using the tool. SCATTER enables local authorities to build detailed inventories of their area’s annual greenhouse gas emissions, identify major emission sources, and model scenarios for reduction. The “Pathways” feature allows authorities to explore different greenhouse gas reduction actions and create scenarios for emissions reduction pathways to 2050.

Anthesis Arrow

Stakeholder engagement

The tool has facilitated effective stakeholder engagement, as evidenced in its use by sector leads in commercial organisations, housing associations, transport, energy distributors, technology providers, and academic institutions. Local authorities using SCATTER have gained valuable insights, improved transparency, and can now actively contribute to national and international climate change objectives, including initiatives such as the UK’s 2050 Net Zero target and the Paris Agreement.

scatter emissions dashboard

Disclosure to the CDP-ICLEI Unified Reporting System

SCATTER can be used to obtain the data for carbon disclosure, such as CDP Reporting, where companies, cities and regions submit data on their environmental performance. By disclosing to initiatives like CDP, local authorities can better understand the scale of their impact on carbon reduction, as well as ways they can support crucial initiatives such as the UK’s 2050 Net Zero target and international Paris Agreement.

Reporting into the CDP-ICLEI Unified System gives local authorities data-driven insights into their climate action. It allows local authorities to transparently track their progress, access best practice and share their data with networks like the Global Covenant of Mayors.

Comparing City Carbon Emission Tools

Carbon Footprint Tool for Cities – Google Enters the Market

The Environmental Insights Explorer (EIE) from Google puts the Anthesis-developed SCATTER tool in the spotlight.

The Google Environmental Insights Explorer tool, created in partnership with the Global Covenant of Mayors for Climate & Energy, has been designed to give cities and local governments access to their current emission levels, so they can build a plan to reduce and measure emission levels.

Using data from Google Maps alongside standard greenhouse gas (GHG) emission factors, EIE estimates three city-level data points: building emissions, transport emissions and renewable energy potential (solar).

How is the EIE Tool Used?

The tool highlights the significant scale of city emissions and with it their role in being part of the solution. Using common methodology that can be standardised and scaled, it makes it easy for cities to benchmark their emissions against other cities. The tool will be used by city policymakers to develop clear plans of action to reduce their carbon emissions.

Comparing EIE and SCATTER

The SCATTER carbon footprint tool builds upon similar details provided by the EIE to allow cities to drill into the interventions; the areas of activity where the potential for carbon reduction lies.

Whereas Google looks at three main interventions (buildings, transportation and solar), SCATTER focuses on a comprehensive list of 45 interventions. Google helps to identify the scale of the problem, while SCATTER enables cities and regions to develop a picture of the solution by building up future reduction scenarios from detailed practical from detailed practical areas under a city’s control.

This supports local climate action planning and responses to the climate emergency, as well as allowing cities and governments to get an accurate handle of their current emissions and set carbon reduction trajectories and targets that are driven by a technology led approach. This leads to evidence based targeting setting and informed policy making.

Data Visualisation – Simple Interpretation of Complex Data

Not only is SCATTER supporting CDP submissions, it also has a range of standard outputs that can translated using the latest data visualisation software to support messaging and make it simple for policymakers and planners to explore future carbon reduction scenarios. Robust datasets are only as good as the user’s ability to interpret it, so ‘seeing’ the outcome of the policy decisions they may or may not decide to make is a crucial to simplifying complex data.

For example, a city could model the impact of improving energy efficiency in buildings via retrofit scenarios and new technologies to reduce heat leakage. Or a city could track how carbon capture storage will reduce emissions from industrial use and power generation before investing. Being able to see the potential impacts is a huge benefit for decision makers.

SCATTER Pathways

Local authorities can use SCATTER to build a detailed inventory of their area’s annual greenhouse gas emissions in order to identify their largest emissions sources.

In addition, a new feature called “Pathways” allows local authorities to explore different greenhouse gas reduction actions and enable the creation of reduction scenarios from which to develop their climate action plans for their area to 2050.

Pathways allow SCATTER users to select the level of ambition for a range of interventions and model different scenarios for their emissions reduction pathway to 2050.

Within each city-region, we’re also working with sector leads using the SCATTER tool as an effective and dynamic stakeholder engagement vehicle. We’ve spoken to leaders in commercial organisations, housing associations and domestic, transport, energy distributors, technology providers and academic institutions.

SCATTER is a collaboration between Anthesis Group, Nottingham City Council, BEIS, Greater Manchester Combined Authority and the Tyndall Centre for Climate Research at the University of Manchester.

Conducting Water Risk Assessment for Pacific Institute https://www.anthesisgroup.com/case-studies/analysing-basin-data-to-inform-apparel-facility-water-targets/ Mon, 29 Jan 2024 14:18:46 +0000 https://anthesis1.wpenginepowered.com/?post_type=case-study&p=53374

Conducting Water Risk Assessment for Pacific Institute

The Situation

Pacific Institute’s objective was to coordinate a clustered pilot in the Noyyal-Bhavani River Basin in South India where three global apparel companies have facilities and operations to drive action informed by catchment context.

Anthesis worked with the Pacific Institute, in collaboration with the Ashoka Trust for Research in Ecology and the Environment (ATREE), and the three apparel brands, to conduct a water risk assessment of supplier facilities.

Our Solutions

The goal of the project was to leverage combined data and tools to develop a holistic picture of basin risk within the area combined with facility-level water consumption data to enable target setting and improvement planning. Anthesis produced this analysis by using these four resources:

  • Global datasets from the Aqueduct Water Risk Atlas and Flood Risk Analyzer tools.
  • Basin-level assessments from the Ashoka Trust for Research in Ecology and the Environment (ATREE).
  • Information from facility data forms.
  • Higg FEM 3.0 apparel facility data, a Sustainable Apparel Coalition tool that enables brands, retailers, and facilities to accurately measure and score a company or product’s sustainability performance.

Anthesis produced an interactive dashboard to display facility water management data and to highlight location-specific shared water risks. It was used by the Pacific Institute as a key part of the engagement process, to gain stakeholder buy-in and provide an element of credibility to the process. Our analysis factored in current, local, operational and shared water challenges to formulate targets and strategies to reduce overall consumption.

Delivering Hydrogen Feasibility Study for Enfinium https://www.anthesisgroup.com/case-studies/hydrogen-feasibility-study-for-enfinium/ Wed, 10 Jan 2024 10:40:22 +0000 https://anthesis1.wpenginepowered.com/?post_type=case-study&p=54662

Delivering Hydrogen Feasibility Study for Enfinium

The Situation

Enfinium is a leader in the energy-from-waste sector and operates four decarbonisation hubs that transform waste into electricity and recycle metals, with two more in development within the UK.

However, the electricity market is undergoing a period of massive transformation as it moves from a system dominated by large, centralised fossil-fuel base load stations to a more decentralised system with significant generation from intermittent renewable sources. In parallel, the journey to decarbonise the gas grid is just beginning and there is significant interest in the substitution of hydrogen for natural gas as a key means of achieving it.

Therefore, the production of hydrogen from waste rather than or as well as electricity offers several potential commercial opportunities:

  • Export / sell the hydrogen to the national gas grid.
  • Sell the hydrogen directly to a local industrial user.
  • Store the hydrogen and then use it to generate electricity to exploit arbitrage / variability in electricity market pricing.

Our Solutions

The study formed part of a wider assessment of the technical and commercial feasibility of hydrogen production developments at the customer energy-from-waste sites. Anthesis was commissioned to deliver the initial technical prefeasibility study, focussing on defining the core hydrogen generation technology and associated balance of the plant.

Enfinium set the following aims for the project:

  • Establish the maximum quantity of hydrogen that can be generated on-site.
  • Identify the key limiting factors for hydrogen generation on-site.
  • Estimate the CAPEX and OPEX for hydrogen plants capable of producing this maximum quantity of hydroge on each site.

Recognising that the maximum scenario was unlikely to reflect a project that would be developed in the short-medium term, Anthesis also produced a preliminary design for a demonstrator plant that would represent the likely first stage of hydrogen generation rollout.

Developing a Cost Benefit Analysis Tool for WRAP https://www.anthesisgroup.com/case-studies/wrap-cost-benefit-analysis-tool/ Tue, 12 Dec 2023 12:01:50 +0000 https://anthesis1.wpenginepowered.com/?post_type=case-study&p=53478

Developing a Cost Benefit Analysis Tool for WRAP

The Situation

WRAP trials have proven that low-cost intervention measures, such as using bin stickers, information leaflets and caddy liners, can increase the amount of household food waste collected for recycling.

With this in mind, WRAP’s goal was to produce a Cost Benefit Analysis (CBA) tool that would be available to local authorities (LAs) and Anaerobic Digesters (AD) plant operators – the tool would conduct a Cost Benefit Analysis of implementing these interventions under the local circumstances of the user, and consider three contract mechanisms that could be used to fund the interventions, i.e. cost sharing of intervention costs, energy profit sharing and variable gate fees.

Our Solutions

our team liaised with a number of LAs and AD operators to understand their experiences of:

  1. food waste collections,
  2. implementing interventions aimed at increasing food waste yields, and
  3. how effective contract mechanisms are at stimulating higher food waste yields.

Using the information obtained from this engagement, and our own understanding of food waste contract arrangements and AD operational costs, we developed the CBA tool. The tool was then tested by a number of LAs and AD operators, from whom we gathered feedback that was incorporated into the final design.

Assessing Energy Efficiency Compliance for Wokingham Borough Council https://www.anthesisgroup.com/case-studies/wokingham-borough-council-energy-efficiency-regulation-compliance/ Tue, 12 Dec 2023 12:00:17 +0000 https://anthesis1.wpenginepowered.com/?post_type=case-study&p=53477

Assessing Energy Efficiency Compliance for Wokingham Borough Council

The Situation

Wokingham Borough Council needed a partner to assist with understanding and assessing the various routes to compliance with The Energy Efficiency (Private Rented Property) (England and Wales) Regulations 2015, also known as the Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES).

MEES is a set of legal requirements that aim to improve the energy efficiency of private rented properties across the UK. Under MEES, buildings in England or Wales must achieve at least an ‘E’ rating on their Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) in order for them to be leased or rented.

Wokingham Borough Council has an extensive portfolio of private rented property so decided to focus on a sample of its stock and utilise the results from these assessments to inform future decisions in relation to its remaining stock.

Our Solutions

Anthesis assessed the performance and prepared EPCs for 36 of the client’s buildings, creating an asset register in the process.

A report was prepared which detailed the energy, carbon and cost savings which would be achieved from the implementation of seven potential Energy Conservation Measures (ECMs), all of which had a seven-year payback period, as required by MEES. Our experts also created simulations of the seven options, packaged eleven different ways in order to assess net present value and lifetime return on investment.

Through our assessments and simulations, we were able to present two potential routes for Wokingham Borough Council to achieve compliance with MEES. The first route achieves compliance by implementing all of the ECM recommendations on the EPCs, however, this may not necessarily result in all buildings achieving an EPC rating of E.

Should Wokingham Borough Council decide to go one step further, it can choose the second route to compliance, which involves implementing a different package of ECMs which will bring all of its buildings up to the minimum EPC rating of E.

Anthesis have delivered a quality programme of 36 EPCs with costed options appraisal for achieving compliance with MEES as well as an attractive return on investment. They are really easy to work with and always deliver against project objectives. I look forward to continuing to work with them on improving the performance of our buildings.”

Ian Gough – Energy Officer, Wokingham Borough Council

MEES compliance

Through this process Wokingham Borough Council were able to make an informed decision about how best to achieve compliance with MEES, weighing up the energy, cost and carbon savings as well as the return on investment from each of the two options. The Council can also use the learnings from this project to make informed decisions about the rest of its building stock.

Reviewing ESOS Compliance for Unite Students https://www.anthesisgroup.com/case-studies/unite-students-esos-compliance/ Tue, 12 Dec 2023 11:58:37 +0000 https://anthesis1.wpenginepowered.com/?post_type=case-study&p=53476

Reviewing ESOS Compliance for Unite Students

The Situation

Unite Students are the leading provider of student accommodation in the UK, providing a home for over 46,000 students. Its large building portfolio, consisting of 138 purpose built properties, was included in the scope for ESOS assessments. As Unite was already rolling out a series of heating and lighting upgrades, it needed to identify additional areas where improvements could be made.

In addition to ESOS, Unite wished to mitigate risks from the forthcoming Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES) regulations.

Our Solutions

Anthesis and Unite Students undertook a works programme that met the requirements for both ESOS and MEES. A stock-modelling approach was taken, allowing Anthesis to refresh the EPCs of Unite’s properties and group them into property archetypes.

Key Project Outputs

  • A report was produced clearly outlining how Unite can continue to improve the energy efficiency of their buildings.
  • We also presented Unite Students with a user-friendly stock model including extensive asset level data to allow cost-effective re-modelling in future.

Working with Anthesis gave us the opportunity to focus on more than just the obvious, large scale energy opportunities and bring in a high level of technical expertise that we simply didn’t have in house. We have thoroughly enjoyed working with Anthesis and look forward to continuing to work with them on bringing our buildings up to the Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards.”

 James Tiernan – Energy Manager, Unite Students

Impacts of the Project

Anthesis Arrow

The business case

The process identified approximately £150 million in lifetime savings that can be achieved if all the recommended measures are carried out. The methodical approach adopted in obtaining this figure has allowed Unite’s Energy and Environment team to present a robust business case for executive approval, placing carbon and energy savings at the centre of their operational activity. The work also puts Unite in an excellent position to comply with MEES.

Creating Energy Modelling Tool for Unite Students https://www.anthesisgroup.com/case-studies/unite-students-energy-modelling/ Tue, 12 Dec 2023 11:57:00 +0000 https://anthesis1.wpenginepowered.com/?post_type=case-study&p=53475

Creating Energy Modelling Tool for Unite Students

The Situation

With more than 130 buildings in 28 cities, Unite Students is one of the UK’s leading providers of student accommodation. The business places great importance on carbon management and this resulted in the firm embarking on an ambitious programme to achieve 80% carbon reduction from its buildings by 2050, against a 2014 baseline.

Having initially worked with Unite Students on compliance with the Energy Savings Opportunity Scheme (ESOS), we continued to provide portfolio-wide analysis in relation to the Energy Efficiency (Private Rented Property) (England and Wales) Regulations 2015, commonly known as the Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES).

The objective was to create a tool which allowed Unite Students to simulate a range of Energy Conservation Measures (ECMs) from simple to ambitious for each of their buildings. The tool would then need to calculate single and multiple measures across single or multiple buildings using engineering calculations for 45 different ECMs. The tool would need to manage asset and energy data and combine them with survey data to help Unite Students build programmes of ECMs and the associated business cases.

Our Solutions

Using data provided by Unite Students, we built an energy profile which estimated the lighting, domestic hot water, space heating and small power loads for the metered consumption.

We next incorporated a cost model which combined fixed and variable costs, sourced directly from contractors. We then built an access database and linked it to the platform with queries to import and export asset data, survey data and HH energy data.

Finally, we built the business case section which creates ROI and MACC outputs for programmes of ECMs.

We commissioned Anthesis to build a tool to manage and analyse data across the portfolio and build the business case for programmes of ECMs. What we received was a detailed and comprehensive carbon management tool. The commitment to delivering this project has been nothing short of remarkable and the tool will, I’m sure, be used by Unite for years to come in pursuit of our carbon reduction targets.”

Gareth Chaplin, Energy Efficiency Technical Solutions Manager, Unite Students

Delivering UK Plastic Waste Market Assessments for ECP https://www.anthesisgroup.com/case-studies/uk-plastic-waste-market-assessments-for-ecp/ Tue, 12 Dec 2023 11:31:25 +0000 https://anthesis1.wpenginepowered.com/?post_type=case-study&p=53473

Delivering UK Plastic Waste Market Assessments for ECP

The Situation

US-based energy transition and decarbonisation infrastructure investor ECP, formerly Energy Capital Partners, sought a detailed understanding of the current and future UK plastic waste market.

The objective was to support ECP’s due diligence for a proposed acquisition of Biffa plc, one of the UK’s leading integrated waste and recycling companies with a leading position in plastics through Biffa Polymers.

Our Solutions

Anthesis examined all aspects of the UK’s current and future plastic waste value chain, from arisings, collections, and sorting, through to recycling, disposal, and exports.

Anthesis assessed the potential impacts of changing regulations and market drivers, including deposit return schemes (DRS), extended producer responsibility (EPR), and the plastic packaging tax, to provide ECP with a detailed understanding of how the plastic waste industry operates in the UK and how it might change in future.

Anthesis assessed the current and potential future waste sorting and plastic recycling infrastructure in the UK and compared this against anticipated future plastic waste arisings, to establish the future UK infrastructure ‘capacity gap’ for plastic packaging recycling.

Anthesis identified leading operators in the plastic recycling industry and delivered research into the historical and projected pricing trends for plastic packaging, including insights into the push to recycle additional polymers and grades.

We were very pleased with our experience working with Anthesis throughout the diligence process. From start to finish, Anthesis provided critical market expertise and exceptional work product that equipped us with the market knowledge, tools and support for the transaction.”

Tyler Kopp – Principal, ECP

Impacts of the Project

Anthesis Arrow

Investment decisions

Anthesis’ plastic waste market assessment supported ECP’s investment decision by providing a clear understanding of the UK plastic waste value chain.

Anthesis Arrow

Further investment

UK sorting infrastructure must produce high quality, separate polymer streams to support successful mechanical recycling in the UK, both to meet recycling targets and to avoid the need for exports. The UK’s capacity to sort, refine, and recycle plastics will therefore have to increase and evolve from that available today, requiring significant further investment.

Anthesis Arrow

Acquisition

In January 2023, ECP successfully acquired Biffa Plc. Biffa has been at the forefront of the UK’s waste management industry for over 100 years, with a commitment to enabling the development and prosperity of a circular economy, providing essential waste services to ~100,000 business customers and ~2 million households in the UK.

Anthesis Arrow

Polymer recycling

Biffa’s portfolio includes Biffa Polymers, which operates several advanced plastic reprocessing faciliZties converting ~165,000 tonnes of plastic into recycled polymer each year.

ECP’s investment provides an opportunity to further develop this treatment capacity and expand Biffa’s ability to support the circular economy for plastics.

Transactional Commercial Due Diligence Support for a Waste-to-Energy Portfolio Investment

The Situation

A global investment organisation with a focus on investments that drive climate action, acquired an operator of Waste-to-Energy facilities in North America, the UK and Ireland in 2021.

The organisation’s purpose-driven investment model presents several growth opportunities for the waste operator, whose business centres on sustainable waste processing and the advancement of the transition to a circular economy.

Annually, the operator reports the conversion of approximately 21 million tons of waste from municipalities and businesses into electricity to power one million homes and recycle 600,000 tons of metal. The Waste-to-Energy, or Energy-from-Waste (EfW), process is a key contributor to landfill diversion, reducing methane emissions and recovering energy from waste.

Our Solutions

Anthesis provided commercial due diligence support to the global investment organisation, to evaluate markets for the waste operator’s EfW plant portfolio. The focus of Anthesis’ work was to provide specialist insights and expertise on the individual EfW assets and their commercial viability, including analysis of gate fee assumptions and revenue forecasting for financial modelling, as well as contract reviews to ascertain the level of feedstock security. 

In addition, we provided recycling rate and EfW market and competition assessments to identify risks and opportunities for the portfolio as well as the individual assets. Anthesis also considered on-site expansions, co-location opportunities, implications of carbon taxation to advise on the expansion potential for value creation of the existing portfolio and the future pipeline.

Conducting a Marine Water Quality Study for a Swedish Government Agency

The Situation

A Swedish Government Agency wanted to understand and quantify the public value of “good environmental status” (GES) in Sweden’s marine waters in accordance with the European Union’s Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD). Anthesis conducted a comprehensive study to measure public willingness to pay to achieve GES in marine waters. 

Our Solutions

Anthesis designed a comprehensive survey with special attention to language around “good status.” The intention was for any respondent, without previous knowledge, to gain an understanding of the current environmental situation and the importance of improving the marine water quality.

A recruitment strategy for questionnaire was sent out in August 2019. The recruitment took place gradually to ensure that the final sample was nationally representative of age, gender, education and region. There were 1039 respondents.

A regression analysis was performed to investigate which factors explain a willingness to pay, such as income, proximity to the sea, and knowledge of the environmental problems in the sea.

Implementing a Food Loss and Waste Programme for Righteous Gelato https://www.anthesisgroup.com/case-studies/the-saving-gelato-project-walmart-foundation-food-loss-waste-implementation-program/ Tue, 12 Dec 2023 11:22:38 +0000 https://anthesis1.wpenginepowered.com/?post_type=case-study&p=53470

Implementing a Food Loss and Waste Programme for Righteous Gelato

The Situation

Righteous Gelato is a small-batch gelato company with factory operations based in Calgary, Canada. The organisation’s mission is to enrich people’s lives, one tiny spoonful at a time. Righteous Gelato use honest ingredients and nothing artificial.

The purpose of the project was to prevent and reduce food loss and waste at the Righteous Gelato manufacturing facility in Calgary, Canada as part of the Walmart Foundation funded Food Loss & Waste Prevention & Implementation Program.

Our Solutions

Anthesis’ partner, Enviro-Stewards, conducted an on-site waste prevention assessment utilising our award-winning Food Loss + Waste Toolkit at the Righteous Gelato manufacturing facility. We measured the savings achieved from our previous Food Loss + Waste assessment, and re-engaged the team on opportunities not implemented or new solutions found.

Three opportunities were quantified to ensure as much gelato as possible was not wasted from the production line:

  • Opportunity 1 | 600kg/year in Fruit Savings – Sometimes the holding tanks filled with gelato are not properly emptied, resulting in wasted gelato at the bottom of the tank. In order to maximise the gelato quantities, the floor has been sloped and the tanks pulled and tilted forward to permit them to drain more effectively. This costs next to nothing to install and saves $6,500 of gelato a year.
  • Opportunity 2 | 7,750 kg/year in Milk Savings – Milk is pumped from the milk tote to the tanks in a pipe. Residual milk is often left in the pipes, and so to save ~35L of milk a day – we suggested the milk in the pipes be pushed forward with water to remove the excess milk in the line. This allows for 35 extra litres of milk a day to be turned into gelato.
  • Opportunity 3 | 9,200 kg/year in Gelato Savings – Gelato is pumped through stainless steel piping from the holding tanks to the freezing unit, leaving residual gelato in the pipes. We estimated this was ~9,200 kg of gelato a year left in the pipes. We recommended a pigging system to use air and water to push out the remaining gelato – allowing it to be packaged and utilised.

We’re always trying to make our facility as efficient as possible and eliminate waste. We have continuous targets for our team that we try to beat week after week. We were tracking waste before this work with Anthesis, but it wasn’t as detailed. This work allowed us to rethink our priorities and refocus our energy.”

James Oliphant – Operations Lead, Righteous Gelato

Impacts of the Project

Anthesis Arrow

Embedding sustainability

Large capital investment isn’t the only way to embed sustainability into your operations. Although Righteous Gelato didn’t install a pigging system, they maintained its sustainable agenda everywhere in its facilities that was feasible. The organisation partnered with Second Harvest, Canada’s largest food rescue organisation, to donate surplus food that would otherwise go to waste to a network of local non-profit organisations serving people in need.

Conducting a Materiality Assessment for The North Face

The Situation

The objectives of The North Face were two-fold: for the organisation to understand how its stakeholders and staff view the brand’s sustainability position in relation to its competitors and understand their thoughts on where the organisation should focus; secondly to bring these insights together and highlight how it can inform future strategy.

Our Solutions

Anthesis conducted a materiality assessment to identify the issues that matter most to the future sustainability of The North Face. We explored a range of environmental, social and governmental issues, themes and opportunities via benchmarking, desk research, interviews with internal and external stakeholders and a staff survey. We also developed alternative names, narratives and goals showing how the most material issues could be taken forward into a strategy.

Key Project Outputs

  • A materiality matrix.
  • Supporting slide deck report containing insights from benchmarking, the staff survey and stakeholder engagement.
  • Names, narratives, example goals and activities for three strategy pathways used as source material for The North Face sustainability strategy development.

The challenge with this type of project is to find the right partner that instinctively understands what is needed, and can deliver efficiently against the project brief. Anthesis’ way of working and communicating enabled us to execute the project on time, on budget, and to an excellent standard.”

Assessing Ecodesign Criteria for Swedish Agencies https://www.anthesisgroup.com/case-studies/the-ecodesign-directive-as-a-way-to-reduce-microplastic-from-household-laundry/ Tue, 12 Dec 2023 11:18:31 +0000 https://anthesis1.wpenginepowered.com/?post_type=case-study&p=53468

Assessing Ecodesign Criteria for Swedish Agencies

The Situation

Agencies in Sweden asked Anthesis to assess the feasibility of introducing Ecodesign criteria to reduce microplastics released from textiles when they are washed.

Our Solutions

The washing and wearing of textiles is one of the sources of microplastic fibres that has raised increased concern in recent years, and is a primary source of microplastics from the textile sector in Sweden. However, textile production takes place almost entirely outside Sweden and the EU, meaning regulations would require international commitment. But as international commitments are harder to enforce, it was easier to focus on options at an EU-level.

With this in mind, the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency, in collaboration with the Swedish Energy Agency, wanted to examine the problem from a socio-economic perspective, by investigating the feasibility of requiring microplastic filters in the Ecodesign regulation for washing machines.

The study provides a structure for analysing the performance of policy instruments concerning microplastics and demonstrates the potential socio-economic impacts of implementing a filter requirement.

Explore our Product Sustainability Services

Discover how Anthesis can support your sustainability ambitions.

Impacts of the Project

Our study determined that a filter criterion has potential to achieve reduced emissions from microplastics for new washing machines (the second hand market was not included). The effect will depend on how the Ecodesign requirements are specified, the performance of the filters and how consumers handle the filters.

Mapping Local Plastic Recycling Supply Chains for The Circulate Initiative

The Situation

Plastic recycling supply chains are often local and unique as they rely on many informal transactions driven by local conditions, traditions, and cultures, as well as local and regional infrastructure and markets.

Very few existing studies on national waste flows explore the plastic supply chains in a more localised context.

Recognising this need The Circulate Initiative selected Anthesis to be the lead research partner to conduct a detailed assessment of wastesheds in India, Indonesia, Thailand and Vietnam.

The research aims to create a better understanding of the wastesheds and suggests potential interventions to grow plastics recycling and reduce environmental impact by:

  • Evaluating the plastic waste flows through the formal and informal waste sector.
  • Mapping the supply chains for plastic waste at a local level, including the key actors, infrastructure, and influencing regulations.
  • Tracking the economics of plastic recycling at each stage of the local plastic supply chains and the key factors influencing prices.
  • Identifying interventions to improve supply chains and increase plastic recycling.

Our Solutions

Anthesis was supported by in-country partners to carry out the local interviews. The in-country partners were Evergreen Labs for Vietnam, PRO India for India, Rebel (with Waste4Change) for Indonesia, and the Stockholm Environment Institute (SEI) for Thailand.

The eight-month study undertaken in 2022 focused on PET, LDPE, HDPE, and PP plastics in the municipal waste, generated primarily by households and small businesses, as this is where many of the local environmental issues occur and where there appears to be the most potential to scale up plastic waste collection and recycling.

Information regarding plastic supply chains in each wasteshed was gathered through:

  • A review of publicly available literature,
  • In-country interviews conducted with local supply chain actors, and
  • Stakeholder interviews with organisations privy to local arrangements, such as local plastics associations, municipal waste management organisations, informal sector groups, waste operators, and producer responsibility organisations to gain additional insight and to help corroborate the findings.

Anthesis was an invaluable partner in data gathering, analysis, and facilitating discussions among various stakeholders. The study showed their in-depth understanding of the requirements for an efficient plastics recycling system.”

Outcomes of the report

The outcomes of the study was published by The Circulate Initiative here. The reports provide another step towards understanding wastesheds.

Key findings include:

The informal sector plays a critical role in the management of material, with workers benefiting economically, but this often comes with risks to their health and welfare. Leaving recycling activities to the informal sector results in supply chain insecurity for recyclers and is often a barrier to investment in local plastic supply chain infrastructure. In addition, there is a tendency to focus on collecting the most valuable polymers only, leaving large amounts of plastic waste uncollected or leaked into the environment.

The opportunity to improve the management of plastic waste and recover the inherent value is vast in India, Indonesia, Thailand, and Vietnam. There is scope to increase the amount and consistency of recycled plastic supply, preserve the material value within these countries, and reduce dependency on polymer and plastic waste imports.

For local plastic supply chains to be effective, several conditions must be in place. These include demand from buyers for recyclates, which needs to be matched by the supply of good quality plastic waste; the right regulatory and policy framework and respective implementation measures; and transparent pricing at each stage to incentivise the investment of time and resources.

Supply chains must have the ability to scale, to increase the quantity and range of plastic collected for recycling to meet the growing demand for high-quality recycled plastic from local sources rather than imports.

In addition, Anthesis also provided four proprietary playbooks with additional infrastructure and economic analysis and a set of detailed company specific recommendations for investment opportunities in these countries.

Textile Brand Certification Strategy for a Global Apparel Retailer https://www.anthesisgroup.com/case-studies/textile-brand-certification-strategy-for-a-global-apparel-retailer/ Tue, 12 Dec 2023 11:15:09 +0000 https://anthesis1.wpenginepowered.com/?post_type=case-study&p=53466

Textile Brand Certification Strategy for a Global Apparel Retailer

The Situation

An apparel retailer was working to determine a strategy for certifying its supply chain against industry textile sustainability standards (e.g. Textile Exchange CCS 3.0, G.O.T.S., FSC, etc.) and exercise best practices supporting product claims.

The apparel retailer wanted support and analysis to understand the following:

  • Which certifications were most material to its business and would provide the biggest impact with customers;
  • The robustness of its verification processes and procedures and the type of sustainability related certifications standards held by vendors in its individual fibre and material supply chains at that time; and
  • What steps and resources were needed to enable its success in certifying the supply chain to the brand level, allowing the usage of certification logos on product tags.

This analysis would be used to develop a strategy roadmap for the apparel retailer with key recommendations for supply chain and brand level certification.

Our Solutions

Anthesis completed the following steps as part of two phases to develop a roadmap for the apparel retailer.

Phase 1 – Analytics

  1. Certification Prioritisation: Conducted an exercise to determine which certifications would be most material to the retailer based on material volume, level of effort (cost, time), and level of impact (e.g., sustainability impact, customer).
  2. Certification Analysis: Supported the retailer’s understanding of all the 12 prioritised certification requirements and internal processes to enable management of brand certifications and identify overlap in existing certifications to create more efficient outcomes.
  3. Situational Analysis: Reviewed internal documentation and conducted stakeholder interviews to allow Anthesis to understand the retailer’s current capabilities and internal processes towards becoming certified.
  4. Gap Analysis: This step looked at the current state (situational analysis) and future state (certification requirements) and identified the gaps and improvement opportunities needed to achieve certification.

Phase 2 – Solutions

Strategic Road Mapping: As part of this progress an action plan was developed with support provided to the retailer to develop best practice standard operating procedures, process flows and RACI matrices.

Phase 1 – Analytics

  1. Situational Analysis and Gap Analysis: Anthesis provided the retailer with a detailed gap analysis against the certification requirements, based on its existing processes and capabilities as a business.
  2. Certification Prioritisation: This process helped the retailer to identify the most relevant and impactful certification standards from a list of 19 to be aligned with or certified to, based on its specific business model and existing supply chain.
  3. Certification Analysis: Anthesis delivered a detailed comparative analysis of the specific requirements at a brand level for each of the 12 chosen standards.

Supporting Tesco’s Suppliers to Reduce Food Waste https://www.anthesisgroup.com/case-studies/tesco-exchange-supporting-tescos-suppliers-to-reduce-food-waste/ Tue, 12 Dec 2023 11:13:38 +0000 https://anthesis1.wpenginepowered.com/?post_type=case-study&p=53465

Supporting Tesco’s Suppliers to Reduce Food Waste

The Situation

Anthesis has been a trusted advisor to Tesco for over eight years, supporting the company to reach its ambitious food waste and net zero targets. This has included developing and managing its Tesco Supplier Network (TSN) platform.

recent report by Tesco and WWF exploring on-farm food loss found that more than three million tonnes of food waste occurs before the product even makes it to the store. In November 2022, Anthesis supported Tesco to launch the Tesco Exchange to support over 3,500 of its suppliers to cut production costs and reduce waste by selling or donating surplus stock or products to other suppliers who can make use of them, hosted on the TSN.

Our Solutions

With aim of creating a circular economy by keeping sources of production within its supply chain, the Tesco Exchange turns one supplier’s waste into something that can be reused by another supplier. Anthesis outlined detailed specifications for the waste marketplace and developed the Tesco Exchange platform.

Anthesis supports onboarding suppliers and managing its listing on Tesco Exchange. Alongside posting items for offer, suppliers can also post requests for items which they require and set alerts for when items they need are posted. Anthesis will continue to support Tesco by monitoring the platform.

Anthesis will produce an annual report on the volume and types of produce exchanged through the project, highlighting associated waste reductions and the most common waste products to inform future supply chain developments.

Tesco Exchange provides the platform for our suppliers to match their excess stock or waste with other suppliers’ resource demands, ultimately saving cost and reducing waste in our supply chain. Building upon the success of the Livestock Marketplace on the Tesco Supplier Network with our trusted partner Anthesis, Tesco Exchange connects suppliers and unlocks opportunities for us to work towards our shared targets of net zero by 2050, and halving global food waste by 2025.”

Andrew McGregor – Sustainability Programme Manager, Tesco

Impacts of the Project

Developing a Sustainable Packaging Roadmap for a Pharmaceutical Company

The Situation

An international pharmaceutical company wanted to embed sustainability principles throughout its packaging inception, design, and production. This included improving data quality and quantity to help identify key areas for impact and to monitor progress against its targets.

Anthesis became the trusted partner to assist the large, international pharmaceutical company with developing and implementing sustainable packaging programs.

Our Solutions

Multiple projects were undertaken with the aim of progressing their sustainable packaging strategy in a complex and highly regulated industry. This included:

  • Conducting LCAs on key packaging items to help evidence sustainability claims.
  • Setting up sustainability advisory boards with key external stakeholders to gather input into what sustainability programs/initiatives/actions will need to be implemented within the business regarding its packaging portfolio.
  • Creating a ‘playbook’ which identified how an innovative packaging idea could be taken from the idea stage through research and development into packaging development and rollout.
  • Creating, implementing, and monitoring a packaging supplier engagement program to gather a large quantity of high quality data to help inform packaging developments, monitor progress against targets and improve efficiency of extended producer responsibility (EPR) reporting.
  • Creating design criteria for new packaging developments.
  • Creating a set of packaging goals through a series of stakeholder ideation workshops to drive ambition and action around promoting the circular economy and reducing emissions.
