Sustainable living is at the heart of our business. We don’t consider our products to be successful unless they’re not only tasty and popular, but help the earth as well. Our business focuses on nutrition, sustainable sourcing, reducing waste, and enhancing livelihoods. In order to maintain these focuses we want to have a strong social cause and sustainability-oriented missions for our brands:

Knorr: A savory brand with ready made soups, bouillon, and quick mealmakers.

Sana: A margarine brand focused on family goodness

Becel: A margarine brand focused on heart health

Calve: A delicious line of healthy dressings, sauces, and condiments like ketchup and mayo.

Each brand offers a unique positioning for a new sustainability mission. We are looking for solid sustainability ideas such as product innovations, renovations of current products, social responsibility ideas, campaigns, and educational programming, etc. for our 4 foods brands.

Important notice:

- These ideas will be for implementation in the Middle East including, Turkey, Morocco, Egypt, Israel, etc.

Deliverables

Review our broader sustainability mission, take a look at our sustainability pillars then propose a sustainability focused campaign or product change for one of our 4 food brands:

1b. What is your sustainability focused campaign or product change?

2. How is your idea viable and what sustainability impact will it have?
