FMCG sector receives new ESG framework and packaging industry updates

Aspire Circle and Aspire Impact have launched the ‘Fast Moving Consumer Goods: An ESG Performance Framework’ under the Impact Future Project, supported by Capgemini. This new research publication provides a sector-specific approach to measuring ESG performance by assessing risks and opportunities separately, rather than using a single blended score. The framework covers various categories, including Personal Care, Household, and Food Products, focusing on issues such as emissions, water stress, packaging waste, and supply chain traceability.

In conjunction with these developments, the Packaging South Asia conference is scheduled for 9 October 2026 in Mumbai. The event aims to address the packaging industry’s triple bottom line of profit, people, and planet. Global packaging consulting firm Packfora has joined as a knowledge partner. The conference will explore how material choice, recyclability, and circularity influence brand security, regulatory exposure, and long-term competitiveness in rapidly evolving markets.
