ECR AP Knowledge and People Excellence - Learning across Boundaries - The Consumer Goods Sector Executive Development Programme New dates for the 2012-2013 session 26-30 November 2012: First Module at INSEAD Campus, Singapore Academic Research / Case Studies & Industry Speakers, Discussion, Simulations, Workshops & Field Trips (Field Trips focusing on Store Visits exploring the peculiarities of mature European markets) 18-22 March 2013: Second Module at INSEAD Campus, France Academic Research / Case Studies & Industry Speakers, Discussion, Simulations, Workshops & Field Trips (Field Trips focusing on Asian Supply Chain processes and Store Visits of Asian markets) My name is Stephanie Penning and I have been working with the ECR EU Learning & Development Initiatives for over eight years – firstly developing the framework for the national learning programmes; then becoming the manager (now development director) for the global executive development programme. Over the years, this programme has developed into the “ECR LaB: Leading across Boundaries Programme” that we know today. ECR AP People Excellence Committee is an integral part of the Steering Committee that stewards the development of a relevant curriculum and it will be the first time in 2012 that one week of the program will be held in Asia in Singapore. Its predecessor (the “Progressive Management Programme”) hosted 100 delegates from the Consumer Goods Sector through interactive modules focusing on subjects relating to the whole Consumer Value Chain. These delegates now form the ECR Alumni, who, in their turn, assist the development team to shape the ECR LaB Programme of today. As with all ECR initiatives, the ECR LaB Programme is itself a collaboration – between the ECR Executive Board and LaB Team, with the world-renowned INSEAD Business School, plus leading companies in the Consumer Goods Sector. The ECR LaB Programme is... � for high-potential executives in Consumer Goods companies; � for crossing new boundaries: within companies; with trading partners - globally � a ‘LaBoratory’: an exploratory environment – to discover & try out new ideas � an analysis of the Key Leadership Duality – change what needs to change; keep what works � a transition towards delegates’ own visions – from studying ideas of others’ � complements company leadership programmes – a joint experience for delegates from different companies, forging strong relationships during (and after) the Programme I continue to work with this Programme as I believe it is fundamental in supporting Consumer Goods companies to prepare their high-potential executives to become their Leaders of the Future – placing their companies at the top of the Sector. Previous delegates have gained many, many benefits and have become strong ambassadors of the Programme, commenting: “I am creating a step-change in Category Management in Central Europe, using Consumer Insights and Fair Process concepts learned during the Programme - in collaboration with a Supplier met on the Programme, then with other Suppliers.” Anna from Tesco in Poland “Having already created a collaborative Task Force with a Retailer during the Programme, use our insights and time in store, then work on ranges, planograms, etc. Implement this elsewhere, creating a pool of global experts to work with our customers.” Jon from Coca-Cola in Great Britain “After this Programme, I can now be a Strategic Change Agent in my company, developing differentiating policies, becoming consumer- led every day!” Paolo from Barilla in Italy For more information, or to book yourself, a colleague or a member of your team on this unique Programme, please contact Ivett Katalin Nagy on ivett@ecr-all.org or directly to me, Stephanie Penning, on Stephanie.penning@ecreurope.com or +39 349 243 3706. 4 4
ECR AP Sustainability - Walmart Best Practices Walmart is a pioneer in the area of responsible sourcing with a strong focus on the Asian markets from where it sources 80% of its merchandise. Walmart’s Supplier Development Program is a first of its kind initiative to encourage suppliers to adopt best practices. The program goes beyond simple audits by teaching suppliers hands on methods to bring their operations to a world-class level. Benefits include a decrease in workplace injuries, lower employee turnover rate, enhanced energy efficiency, improved recruitment practices and better internal communications practices. 54 suppliers have already graduated from the program and 127 suppliers are currently enrolled. . Walmart puts a great deal of emphasis on encouraging its suppliers to adhere to global best practices in areas ranging from sustainability to safety. The best case practice in this area is Walmart China’s Energy Efficiency Program that involved more than 300 factories in China. By January 2011, 143 factories have achieved 20% energy efficiency improvement with totally saved energy consumption by 514 million KWh, equivalent to reducing CO2 411,000 tons. Walmart Supplier Diversity program was launched in 1994 to help bring minority and women-owned businesses into our vast network of suppliers with an initial spend of US$2 million. Today, our procurement from diverse suppliers’ accounts for more than US$10.5 billion in direct and second-tier spend. Walmart and Unilever HUL recycling initiative in India In 2011, Bharti Walmart and Unilever India launched “HUL”, a first-ofits kind recycling initiative in India promoting plastic waste recycling and educating consumers on responsible consumption. The program ran for three months across 30 stores. Throughout the campaign period, customers were encouraged to bring empty plastic bottles and pouches in exchange for store coupons Bangladesh – Walmart WHEEL program for garment workers In Bangladesh, more than 80 percent of garment workers are women, and nearly all of them live in poverty. These women often lack a formal education and the skills necessary to improve their quality of life. With our assistance, the WHEEL program has set up 100 learning centers where women can gain workplace skills and receive literacy training. The initiative will benefit 2,500 workers and their families, positively impacting an estimated 12,500 to 15,000 people in their communities. Walmart and SC Johnson Sustainability partnership Walmart U.S. publically announced the desire to phase-out of products containing the following three chemicals: permethrin, propoxur, dichlorvos. Walmart’s announcement focused on having suppliers deliver a plan to achieve this goal. SCJ put together a plan based on product development and regulatory timelines to move from Permethrin to other active ingredients with the imperative of maintaining product performance. Walmart and P&G Value Stream Mapping (VSM) project VSM project aimed to eliminate the waste where it exists along the value stream process in between of P&G and Walmart. It was done by process optimization, technology application and operation innovation. As a result Lead time (time involved from receiving time to shipping time) improved by 54% and receiving time improved by 49% in 2011. 5 5
