 Health Being consumables, health is an important parameter for FMCG products that
the companies must address in order to promote sustainable lifestyle.

Agriculture The raw resource used for producing FMCG products are agricultural products.
Agricultural activities thus form an important link in the value chain of FMCG
Companies.

Waste Packaging for FMCG Products generate tones of waste globally, and
companies must address this concern.

Water Production of FMCG products are water intensive and companies adopt water
replenishing operational strategies to address this issue.

Climate Companies need to look for methods to cut their carbon footprint across their
value chains. They need to adopt practices that generate minimal Green House
Gases.

People The companies need to address the lives of the millions of stakeholders that
contribute to the company’s value chain, and need to contribute towards
creating a better shared future for the communities.
