Developing a Corporate Sustainability Strategy for Philadelphia Macaroni Company

Abstract

Philadelphia Macaroni Company (PMC) is a business-to-business company that supplies industrial pasta products to major consumer goods companies. PMC recognizes the benefits of a robust sustainability framework but lacks an overarching corporate sustainability program at this time. The goal of this project is to create a two-year implementation plan that provides clear strategic recommendations to launch three to five Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives. Through a materiality assessment, recommendations are provided for four topics: environmental performance tracking tools; diversity and inclusion; sustainable raw materials; and transparency. These four topics will assist PMC in integrating sustainability into their operations while enhancing their sustainability reputation within the consumer goods supply chain.
