Sustainability Reach Survey » Introduction

Introduction

PTIS is working with the Oxford Consulting Group on a joint sustainability study to assess the consumer packaging goods industry's sustainability reach. It takes less than 5 minutes to complete and your individual results will be available instantly.


This survey has been designed to assess your organization's sustainability practices (overall and within different parts of the organization), while also informing you about how leading companies approach sustainability. The survey is divided into five sections:

  1. Executive & Corporate
  2. Facilities & Manufacturing
  3. Procurement & Supply Chain
  4. Marketing & Sales
  5. Human Resources

Within each section are a series of activities typically undertaking by leading companies. Rate your own organization’s performance using the scoring buttons under each activity. Answers range from:

 

Score Level Description
0 None You have not attempted this activity.
1-3 Novice You are preparing the ground work. You are interested in moving forward with sustainability initiatives. You have implemented a few programs.
4-6 Progressive You have a plan in place. You have many initiatives underway and are making good progress.
7-8 Champion You are a leader. Sustainability is embedded into the DNA of the organization. You have programs in place with many external stakeholders and you are sharing your great results throughout your organization, your supply chain and your community.

 

Note that selecting a higher level (eg: Progressive) assumes that you have also accomplished activities associated with the lower levels (eg: novice activities). Similarly, selecting Champion assumes you have accomplished both Novice and Progressive activities.

 

Once you have completed all sections you will be presented with a summary of your results. If requested, we will follow-up with you to provide a comparison of your organization to your peers / other groups (after all surveys have been completed) basedon industry and size.
