Are you currently selling “green” products? How are they performing? How should they be performing?

Does your category management specifically address “green”?

Are you selling to “the” green customer or multiple green segments?

Do you have a plan to measure and “score” your current suppliers and products? What about corrective actions? Are you prepared to remove suppliers and/or products for poor performance/low standards? When?

Are you reducing the environmental impacts of your packaging? Supply chain? How much have you saved? How much do you want to save?

“Awareness and choice – not price – are the most powerful levers for increasing

sales of green products.”Boston Consulting Group

Is your corporate brand and your sustainability messaging in sync?

How are you perceived by your stakeholders, customers, competitors, financial community?

How do these perceptions align with your actions?

What about your product brands? Are there specific “green” offerings? the same as your competition?

If Proprietary product brands exist, how do you communicate their value?

Do your customers agree? Do they reward you with greater loyalty?

Are you at risk of greenwashing? Wait, what’s greenwashing?
