The Sustainability Council’s Innovation Workstream aims to with customers to identify and target technology/innovation opportunities to support a reduction in carbon emissions and promote a circular economy.
Led by Michael Parks from Treasury Wine Estates, the purpose of the Innovation Workstream is to:
- Identify and target technology opportunities across major emissions issues, eg. bottles, cartons, freight
- Identify target problem components inhibiting circular practices, eg. cork and how we can overcome as an industry
- Use a customer lens - what customer problems do we need to solve for?
Pilot new technology/process with external stakeholder, eg. GS1.
"Industry wide challenges require all of industry to come together. The innovation stream provides the space to do just that, jointly identify and tackle the topics that are bigger than any one company."
