SUSTAINABILITY
How do you minimise disruption from extreme weather ? We are investing in digital and technology innovations to build responsive , scalable supply chains that allow our business to stay ahead of new snacking trends and deliver snacks even during challenging times .
We have established our first data-driven and remotely operated lights-out factories in manufacturing , with a focus on stability , productivity , and predictability .
Our Sri City factory in India is a certified World Economic Forum Lighthouse plant .
Here we deploy end-to-end digitalisation , predictive analytics , AI and automation to increase labour productivity and reduce manufacturing costs . This allows us to have real-time visibility on plant operations , which enables much faster reaction in the case of emergency .
We have similar supply chain operations in Suzhou , China , including two plants and two distribution centres . These have reduced lead times by 32 %, which improves the resilience of the end-to-end supply chain , which was proven during COVID .
