3 companies tell us their failures on sustainability

This short article from Trellis (formerly GreenBiz) can help you understand the importance of sharing sustainability missteps in order to help your organisation and others learn from them. It highlights three examples from Chief Sustainability Officers at Loreal, Levi's, and Human Scale. L’Oréal’s CSO shares their challenges with circular packaging; the CSO at Levi’s shares how efforts to integrate recycled material into their product resulted in a blended material that could not be further recycled; and the CSO at Human Scale explains how a takeback program for office furniture was circular in theory but ineffective in practice. These examples will be useful to all sustainability practitioners.
