An essential step is assembling the right team. Composition of the team is a bit different, depending on whether the issue is private-label or national brands.

This person can guide the effort from a financial perspective. Other leaders, Bernardo says, should be the packaging director, who can oversee packaging consistency, and the marketing director, who can impart the advantages of the sustainability effort.
