挑战
Fater, a joint venture between Procter & Gamble and the Angelini Group, is committed to environmental sustainability and is constantly striving to understand and improve the environmental performance of its current and future products. The company faced several challenges in its sustainability journey. These included assessing the environmental impact of existing and new products, embedding eco-design in product development, especially in the choice of raw materials and type of packaging, quantifying the share of the use-phase emissions and providing retrospective guidance for product development, and supporting marketing claims with fact-based but easy-to-understand environmental indicators for transparent consumer communication.
关于客户
Fater is an Italian company founded in 1958 by Francesco Angelini. Since 1992, it has been a joint venture between Procter & Gamble and the Angelini Group. The company develops, manufactures and distributes the ACE Neoblanc and Comet brand products in 38 countries worldwide. In Italy, the company has developed the personal care market since the late 1960s. Today, it produces and distributes branded products such as Pampers, LINES, LINES Specialist and Tampax. With ESG and sustainability playing a key role in Fater’s corporate values, the company aims to be a reference point for environmental sustainability. The firm sees this commitment as an opportunity for the development of discontinuous innovations and, of course, as a responsibility.
解决方案
To advance their sustainability journey, Fater collaborated with Sphera to develop and implement an eco-design tool for many of their product lines in the laundry and cleaning sector. Sphera’s sustainability experts built the eco-design tool based on a robust Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) methodology and using the industry-based data foundation GaBi. The tool now supports Fater’s R&D department by providing insights into emissions hotspots across the product lifecycle and helps to quantify reduction potential. It also enables a solid data-driven communication strategy by translating complex LCA results into language that non-LCA experts can better understand. Sphera’s Sustainability Consulting and Product Sustainability Software and Database solutions GaBi help organizations improve the environmental performance of their products by enabling data-driven decisions during design and planning, advancing product innovation and eco-design, providing access to high qualitative and representative Life Cycle Inventory (LCI) data, and simplifying the complexity of LCA results for transparent stakeholder communication.

Case Study
Improving Vending Machine Profitability with the Internet of Things (IoT)
The vending industry is undergoing a sea change, taking advantage of new technologies to go beyond just delivering snacks to creating a new retail location. Intelligent vending machines can be found in many public locations as well as company facilities, selling different types of goods and services, including even computer accessories, gold bars, tickets, and office supplies. With increasing sophistication, they may also provide time- and location-based data pertaining to sales, inventory, and customer preferences. But at the end of the day, vending machine operators know greater profitability is driven by higher sales and lower operating costs.

Revolutionizing Rodent Control
From pet- and child-safe traps, to touch-free and live-catch rodent control solutions, Victor continues to stay committed to producing superior products that meet the varying needs of today’s pest control professionals. And, with a long standing history supporting customers in the food processing, service, and retail settings, Victor knew that strict regulations were costing organizations thousands of dollars in excess overhead trying to manage their rodent-control solutions. Trap inspections in these environments are often difficult and time consuming, requiring personnel to manually check a trap’s status multiple times per day, amounting to over six hours of manual labor. Victor is looking for an innovative way to increase operational efficiencies with the use of technology.
