Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Worker voices: how human rights monitoring can work
Q: How can companies embed worker voice into due diligence and audits?
By integrating surveys into the supplier due diligence process, aggregating data by commodity and country, and using findings to inform audits, rather than creating standalone, separate initiatives.
Worker voices: how human rights monitoring can work
Q: What is worker voice and why is it important in human rights monitoring?
Worker voice is about engaging directly with workers to collect feedback on their conditions, using simple, accessible tools that work in low-tech environments, so that the data reflects the workers' realities rather than external assumptions.
Weekly podcast – The label on the box: packaging's latest sustainability lever
Q: What should we be looking out for from labeling and packaging in the future?
Expect a shift toward more filmic labels and plastics labels, greater integration with connected packaging, and continued emphasis on materials and design choices that enhance recyclability and compliance, including transparency about packaging components.
Weekly podcast – The label on the box: packaging's latest sustainability lever
Q: How can labeling help with regulatory compliance?
Labeling contributes to easier compliance by providing essential recyclability information and enabling accurate reporting for extended producer responsibility (EPR) programs and eco-modulation, influencing end-of-life documentation and producer responsibility outcomes.
Weekly podcast – The label on the box: packaging's latest sustainability lever
Q: Can you share an example of this in practice?
One prominent example is Avery Dennison Clean Flake, a film with a Clean Flake adhesive designed to separate cleanly from PET during recycling, enabling higher-quality recycled granulates and reducing contamination.
