DESCRIPTION

Shelf-ready packaging: the balancing actThe demands on product packaging keep growing. Not only is it required to be shelf-ready and satisfy shoppers, it is increasingly being asked to address a range of sustainability issues – environmental and social as well as economic. This requires a delicate balancing act. In this session leading retailers and suppliers will weigh up the issues and tell us how they are striking the packaging balance.Speakers: Xavier Hua, Carrefour; Bernard Fradin, Kraft Foods.Facilitated by ECR Italy and ECR UK.

Currently SRP still gives rise to some issues –

sustainability can only be

attained through a balanced approach

☺ SRP can… SRP can also…

Social

Make shelf replenishment and shopping easier

Be perceived as labour reduction policy•

Make shopping more difficult if not well designed

Economic

Improve shop floor operations•

Improve sales•

Add costs to supply chain•

Make shop floor operations more difficult if no proper design and training of staff

Destabilise pallet loads if not strong enough

Environmental

Reduce need for primary packaging as it stabilises the product

Lead to higher perceived volumes of packaging on shelf

Add packaging in the supply chain

The Social Effect of SRP

Anna Zolotarjova, Supply Chain & Logistics Development Manager, Rimi

Baltic

12

For new EU member states, SRP is largely being driven by labour market conditions

GDP year-on-year growth in 2007 up to 11% in Latvia

Lowest level of unemployment 3.2% in Lithuania

Negative migration index up to -0.3% in Estonia

Population decline up to -0.65% in Latvia

Labour market drivers of SRP vary across Europe

13

SRP helps address the social challenge faced in store

Stores are regularly

short of planned employees by ≥6%,

Store staff

turnover is reaching critical rates

Number of overtime hours in RIMI stores exceeded

500,000 in 2007

87% of employees

doing the work in store are women

Hard working conditions is a top reason for store

employees to leave

Unemployment rate fallsUnemployed as % of workforce
