Packaging Is the Sleeper Issue

Plastic Packaging Tax changed the conversation
Almost overnight, packaging moved from a background operational detail to a line‑item with financial consequences. Importers and manufacturers now need proof of recycled content, and if they don’t have evidence, they must assume virgin material. That assumption carries a cost and it’s reshaping supplier expectations across entire supply chains.

In supplier questionnaire, what used to be a quick question about box sizes or pallet configurations is now a structured request for:

Packaging specifications
Recycled content confirmation
Supporting documentation

Extended Producer Responsibility

Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) reforms are being rolled out, which is increasing the data expectations again. Packaging is now a data point, a compliance requirement, and a contributor to cost exposure.

This is why packaging has become the sleeper issue in sustainability. It sits quietly in the background until a buyer needs to report, a regulator needs evidence, or a tax return needs completing. Then suddenly it becomes a key focus.

Why Packaging Data Matters

The shift began with the Plastic Packaging Tax. By linking recycled content to a financial outcome, the UK created a direct incentive for businesses to understand exactly what their packaging is made of. That clarity requires documentation and verified information from suppliers.

This has created a new dynamic in supply chains. Buyers need accurate data to complete their returns. Suppliers need accurate data to keep customers compliant. And manufacturers need accurate data to demonstrate the recycled content they’ve invested in.

The result is a new level of transparency. Packaging specifications are becoming standard onboarding documents. Recycled content declarations are becoming routine. Evidence trails are becoming part of everyday operations.

EPR reforms amplify this shift

Under the new system, producers must report packaging by:

Material type
Weight
Format
Recyclability

These reports require more data, more granularity, and more reliance on suppliers to provide accurate information. Packaging has become a measurable part of a company’s environmental footprint. It is also a measurable part of a company’s financial exposure.

Expectations on Suppliers

For suppliers, this shift means packaging information is now a core part of customer relationships. Buyers need clarity, accuracy, and evidence. They are asking for:

Material breakdowns
Recycled content percentages
Certificates of conformity
Specifications for every component
Updates when packaging changes

These requirements are the new baseline.

Suppliers who can provide clear, accurate packaging data become easier to onboard, easier to report on, and easier to retain.

Suppliers who meet this demand reduce risk for their customers. They help buyers meet regulatory obligations and support smoother operations across the supply chain.

Because packaging is often one of the most visible environmental touchpoints, suppliers who demonstrate strong packaging practices also strengthen their own sustainability profile.

Packaging is a strategic issue for SMEs

For many SMEs, packaging has historically been a practical decision: protect the product, ship it safely, keep costs reasonable. Today, packaging is also a strategic decision. Packaging choices influence:

Tax exposure
Customer compliance
Brand sustainability claims
Waste management costs
Reporting accuracy
Market competitiveness

Clear packaging data makes a supplier more attractive to buyers navigating complex reporting requirements. Recycled content helps your customers reduce their tax liabilities and contributes to reaching their sustainability goals.

Packaging is becoming a differentiator. It is a way for SMEs to stand out in tenders, strengthen customer relationships, and demonstrate readiness for the future of regulation. It also offers opportunities for competitive advantage.

How SMEs can get ahead of the curve

The businesses gaining momentum are the ones treating packaging as a structured part of their sustainability approach. They are:

Building a packaging specification library
Requesting recycled content documentation from their own suppliers
Tracking material weights and formats
Reviewing packaging choices with both cost and compliance in mind
Communicating changes proactively to customers

The good news is that delivering this doesn’t need a sustainability department. It needs organisation, clarity, and a willingness to treat packaging data with the same seriousness as product specifications or safety documentation.

Once the information is captured, it becomes a reusable asset. Something that supports every customer, every audit, every return, and every compliance cycle.

Strategic opportunity

Packaging is now firmly part of the sustainability landscape. It influences environmental impact, regulatory compliance, and financial performance. It shapes how buyers assess risk and how suppliers demonstrate value.

Suppliers who embrace packaging transparency position themselves as reliable partners in a changing regulatory environment. They help customers stay compliant. They reduce uncertainty. They strengthen their sustainability story.

In strengthening your sustainability offering through packaging, you can flip an operational consideration into a strategic advantage.

As Plastic Packaging Tax and EPR reforms reshape expectations for SMEs ready to respond, it’s also a chance to lead.

Sustainability Platforms – Burden or Opportunity?

EcoVadis. Sedex. SMETA. Supplier scorecards.

These names are now woven into the fabric of modern supply chains. For SMEs, they often arrive via an email that starts with: “Please complete this assessment…” Behind the admin and the acronyms sits a shift in how businesses prove their value, build trust, and win work.

“Sustainability platforms are becoming supply chain passports — and that creates real opportunity for the small businesses ready to use them strategically.”

Why platforms matter right now

Large buyers are aligning around shared systems to manage sustainability, ethics, and risk. It’s important to recognise this is an operational reality. With regulations tightening and reporting expectations rising, buyers need consistent, comparable data from their suppliers. Platforms give them exactly that.

And when buyers standardise, suppliers feel the ripple effect. More customers are asking for:

Formal policies that clearly express commitments
Documented processes that show how things run day to day
Evidence that backs up claims with real data
Improvement plans that demonstrate progress

This structure is becoming the baseline for doing business with major retailers, brands, and manufacturers. But here’s the benefit that often gets overlooked: once an SME builds this foundation, it becomes a powerful asset.

The opportunity hiding in the admin

Completing a sustainability assessment properly creates something reusable. Something that works for the business rather than draining it.

One strong EcoVadis score can support multiple customer relationships.
One SMETA audit can satisfy several onboarding processes.
One well‑organised evidence library can streamline every tender, every renewal, every annual review.

Instead of responding to scattered requests, SMEs can point to a single, credible, independently verified assessment. That shifts the dynamic. It shows readiness. It shows maturity. It shows that the business is aligned with the direction of modern procurement.This is something that makes buyers take notice.

A supplier with a clear sustainability profile is easier to onboard, easier to justify internally, and easier to champion. In competitive markets, that’s key. It can be the difference between being one of many options and being the partner a buyer actively wants to keep.

What good looks like — and why it’s achievable

A strong sustainability platform submission requires clarity, consistency, and a bit of structure.

The most effective SMEs focus on:

Policies that are simple, specific, and relevant
Processes that reflect real operations
Evidence that is easy to understand and up to date
KPIs that track what the business genuinely manages
Improvement actions that are realistic and measurable

Most SMEs already have the foundations; safe working practices, responsible sourcing habits, community engagement, environmental awareness. The platform simply asks for these to be captured and evidenced.

Once the groundwork is in place, the annual updates become lighter. The business becomes more resilient. And the sustainability narrative becomes something the team can speak about confidently, rather than cautiously.

A new kind of competitive advantage

Sustainability platforms are creating a more level playing field. They give SMEs a way to demonstrate capability in the same language as global brands. They make responsible practices visible. They turn good intentions into tangible proof.

For SMEs, this is a chance to stand out.

A strong platform score signals that a business is organised, transparent, and forward‑thinking. It shows that the supplier is actively contributing to a stronger, more responsible supply chain.

And because many buyers now use these platforms as part of their supplier selection process, a good score can open doors that might otherwise stay closed.

Standardisation as a catalyst for growth

As more buyers adopt shared platforms, something positive happens: duplication drops. Instead of ten questionnaires, suppliers complete one. Instead of ten audits, they undergo one recognised assessment. Instead of ten sets of evidence, they maintain a single library.

This is the direction of travel across industries.

Fewer hoops.
Clearer expectations.
A more consistent baseline.
And that baseline is rising.

For SMEs, this creates a moment of choice. Treat sustainability platforms as a tick‑box exercise, or use them as a strategic tool to strengthen the business, deepen customer relationships, and unlock new opportunities.

The SMEs who lean in early gain momentum. They become the suppliers buyers trust. They become the partners who make procurement teams’ lives easier. They become the businesses that can say, with confidence: “We’re ready.”

Reshaping Supply Chains

Sustainability platforms are reshaping how supply chains operate. They bring structure, clarity, and consistency — and they offer SMEs a powerful way to demonstrate value in a crowded marketplace.

“Once completed properly, one assessment can unlock multiple customers.”

Standardisation may reduce duplication, it also raises the baseline. And for the SMEs prepared to meet it, that baseline becomes a launchpad for growth.

Why your carbon reduction initiative needs cultural and behavioural change to succeed

The human factor in decarbonisation

Organisational change programs frequently focus on new technologies, policies, or infrastructure. This focus can neglect the cultural and behavioural shifts essential for lasting success. When sustainability is embedded into the routines and mindsets of employees, even the boldest decarbonisation initiatives will succeed.

To drive genuine change, organisations must address behaviour at every level and make decarbonisation a tangible, routine and rewarded aspect of daily work. Achieving real and lasting impact requires following four golden rules for changing human behaviour:

1. Make it real

Decarbonisation goals are easy to agree on in boardrooms but challenging to implement in break rooms. Success requires translating policies into actionable tasks. For example:

Devolve sustainability targets along the same boundary lines as existing financial budgets to ensure accountability.
Provide tools that help employees make low-carbon decisions through carbon accounting platforms designed to work in the organisational context.
Focus efforts on impactful areas—prioritising large emissions reductions over symbolic but minor actions.
When employees see how sustainability can integrate with their role and their existing practices, they are more likely to adopt and champion it.

2. Embed it in routine

Humans thrive on routine, so sustainability must become an organisational habit. Focus on embedding decarbonisation into key workflows and decision gates.

Our work redesigning Defence procurement to embed sustainability is a good example. We identified that Defence equipment has thousands of processes it must go through across its lifecycle from idea to disposal. However, there are a few key decision gates that can be targeted to have the greatest impact. This, leads to significant sustainability gains.

3. Reinforce and reward

It is essential to create an environment that supports and celebrates sustainable behaviours. Start by identifying barriers that might hinder sustainable practices.

Ensure workflows are optimised to reduce waste and energy use.
Ensure tools are available to enable sustainable behaviours, such as remote work and virtual meetings instead of frequent travel.
Celebrate the small wins to build momentum. Highlight achievements like departmental carbon reductions or individual initiatives.

In a recent consulting engagement, we found that an awards ceremony where the prizes were branded mugs identifying the owner as a ‘green champion’ created a real culture of kudos amongst the team. If the reward is visible and linked clearly to the decarbonisation goal, then the organisation can reward and reinforce appropriate behaviours.

4. Align with wider operations

Sustainability goals must align with broader organisational priorities and they must be integrated into the systems, processes and ways of working of wider operations.

Take a systematic top-down look at workflows, decision-making frameworks and organisational structures to ensure that the whole organisation is aligned to the decarbonisation outcome.
Start with the leadership team – get leaders to truly commit to the decarbonisation programme and its implications, and then model and communicate that to the wider organisation.

When sustainability becomes a shared enterprise priority, it transitions from rhetoric to reality.

Creating Cultural and Behavioural Change to achieve sustainability

Lasting impact

Carbon reduction efforts will only thrive alongside cultural and behavioural transformation. By embedding decarbonisation into everyday practices and fostering a culture of sustainability, organisations can achieve enduring success.

This requires determination, focus, and systematic integration – but the rewards, both for the planet and the organisation, make it a vital pursuit. Sustainability is more than a goal; it’s a way of working, thinking, and thriving, and like your new year resolutions, it needs focus and determination to truly land into organisational habit.

Why it’s vital to integrate Carbon Reduction Solutions into your Business

In order to achieve meaningful reductions in carbon emissions, businesses must assess their carbon footprint.
Carbon footprint measures the total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, both direct and indirect, produced by an organisation.

Assessing Your Carbon Footprint

Conduct a Carbon Audit

The best place to start is by conducting a carbon audit. This involves analysing your organisation’s data to identify the sources of GHG emissions.

Define the Scope and Boundaries of the Audit

Determine the organisation’s activities: Identify which activities and processes will be included in the audit, e.g. energy consumption, transportation, waste, and supply chain activities.
Consider the three scopes of emissions:
- Scope 1: Direct emissions from sources owned or controlled by the organisation. For example, Emissions from company-owned vehicles, Emissions released during industrial processes and on-site manufacturing or emissions from agricultural activities, such as livestock farming
- Scope 2: Indirect emissions from the generation of purchased electricity, steam, heating, and cooling.
- Scope 3: All other indirect emissions that occur in the organisation’s value chain (e.g., upstream and downstream transportation, waste disposal, employee commuting).

Establish emissions boundaries: Decide which emissions sources will be included (e.g. direct emissions from operations, indirect emissions from purchased electricity, and emissions from the supply chain).

Calculate emissions

Once you have gathered data on fuel consumption, energy usage, transportation activities, and supply chain emissions, you can calculate the emissions. There are standards and software tools for GHG accounting, which can automate much of the calculation process.

It is important to verify the accuracy and completeness of the data to ensure reliable results.

Calculate the Carbon Footprint

Once you have verified the data you convert it to CO2 equivalent. Use appropriate conversion factors to convert emissions data into carbon dioxide equivalents (CO2e).

Analyse Results and Report Findings

Identify the major sources of emissions and areas where improvements can be made.

Cala Sustain can help you to quantify, analyse and report your carbon footprint, whether that is direct emissions (Scope 1) or indirect emissions (Scope 2 &3). We help you navigate the complexity of emission accounting. Our audits reveal insights such as:

emissions drivers
emissions by facility or region
year-on-year trends
develop recommendations

Once you have analysed the data you can identify areas for improvements and provide recommendations for reducing emissions. Once implement this will improve your sustainability performance.

Report on the findings

Companies, LLPs and groups that exceed at least two of the following three thresholds in the preceding year will have to report on their carbon footprint:

£36m annual turnover
£18m balance sheet total
250 employees

The report needs to include: the audit findings, the carbon footprint calculations, analysis, and recommendations. It is important to share the report with relevant stakeholders, such as management, employees, and customers.

Carbon Reduction Plans

Based on the audit findings, develop and implement a plan to reduce emissions.

Carbon Reduction Plans (CRP) detail an organisation’s approach to reducing emissions. These plans help businesses and stakeholders understand the impact their operation has on the environment. Analysing your carbon footprint helps to identify opportunities to reduce emissions and develop a clear carbon reduction plan.

A critical step in the carbon reduction process is engaging senior leadership to identify priority areas for action and align carbon reduction goals with broader business objectives.

The success of carbon reduction initiatives depends on integrating them seamlessly into existing business processes. They must be aligned with operational goals to minimise disruption.

For example, sustainability can be embedded into procurement by using tender criteria or supplier contracts and operational improvements like installing solar panels or EV charging stations. When carbon reduction measures are treated as integral to the business, they are more likely to receive the investment, visibility, and support needed to succeed.

Reducing your company’s carbon footprint is an opportunity to improve the company’s triple bottom line—people, planet, and profit.

Monitor Progress And Conduct Periodic Audits

Once your carbon reduction plan is implemented it is important to monitor the organisation’s emissions to track progress toward reduction targets.

It is worth repeating the carbon audit process periodically to assess your progress and identify new opportunities for improvement.

The Benefits Of A Sustainable Approach

The benefits of embedded sustainability are well documented. They include increased operational efficiencies, innovation, and enhanced brand reputation, which can attract customers, investors, and talent.

Proactively addressing carbon emissions also mitigates risks such as tightening regulations and fluctuating energy costs, ensuring long-term business resilience and competitiveness.

Integrating carbon reduction solutions is a strategic move that delivers measurable benefits for the environment, society, and the business itself.

Integrating Sustainability Is Key

Sustainability is a crucial consideration for organisations of all shapes and sizes.

This benefits of embedding sustainability in an organisation are well documented. They include cost efficiencies, reduced cost of capital and greater access to customers and markets. Companies with ESG embedded into their organisation outperform their non-ESG counterparts.

Many companies still struggle to shift from setting sustainability ambitions into driving tangible actions. A recent report revealed that the average target net-zero date for FTSE250 companies had been delayed by 13 months, with like-for-like emissions increasing compared with the previous year.

The Sustainability Paradox

So why don’t the financial incentives of sustainability drive meaningful action?

An important factor is how Sustainability (as a discipline) is established within an organisation.

The table below demonstrates this by comparing Sustainability to Finance as a function within an organisation.

Aspect	Finance	Sustainability
Maturity	Well-established discipline in most organisations	Often not an established discipline; typically managed by a small team or an individual
Accountabilities	Clear hierarchies and accountabilities	Variable and often incomplete; e.g. only 37% have a board member responsible for sustainability
Position in Business Model	Embedded alongside other core functions	Often siloed from other core functions
Engagement from other business functions	Integrated into many roles through budgeting, cost control, and profit-driving responsibilities	Non-sustainability roles typically don’t have sustainability responsibilities or activities

The Solution: An Integrated Business Model Approach

To bridge this gap, organisations should adopt an integrated business model approach to sustainability. This approach transforms sustainability from a siloed, specialist subject into a lever that enhances the organisation’s overall operations. Key features of an integrated business model include:

Understanding organisation wide of the importance of sustainability
Clear sustainability accountabilities at all levels of the organisation
Inclusion of sustainability considerations in decision making by default
An intentional “tilt” in the organisation’s products/services roadmap towards sustainability
Organisation-wide engagement and understanding of sustainability objectives
Alignment of policy and processes to sustainability integration
Staff measurement and remuneration linked to sustainability performance

Benefits of Integration

An integrated business model is more likely to drive action because:

When employees are measured on Sustainability within their role it incentivises them to act.
Insight into the impact of operating Sustainability on business performance can enhance business decision making
Cross-pollination between sustainability and non-sustainability activities helps identify risk and opportunities
Accountabilities can link to those who directly influence outcomes (e.g. procurement professionals influencing supply chain decisions)

Case Study: Ministry of Defence (MOD)

Cala Sustain helped our client the Ministry of Defence implement an integrated business model approach to Sustainability.

The UK Government has a legally binding target to become Net Zero by 2050. It has flowed this obligation to all Government Departments including the MOD.

Defence equipment conservatively accounts for 35% of all UK Government emissions. These are emissions from equipment, platforms and purchasing activities.

The MOD required support to create a carbon reduction plan for all of its activities from its +£200bn spend supply chain.

We worked with MOD to achieve an integrated business model by:

Building solutions that added value to operational staff beyond carbon reduction
Integrating processes that provide significant time savings compared to a siloed approach
Engaging stakeholders to discover and leverage ways to improve ROI from carbon data

We provided a clear set of recommendations along with a roadmap of activities that will enable sustainability to become integral to defence acquisition. Read the MOD Case Study »

By integrating sustainability in to their business model organisations can improve both their environmental and overall business performance.
