The Challenge
Aptar, a global leader in the design and manufacturing of a broad range of drug delivery, consumer product dispensing, and active packaging solutions, faced several challenges related to sustainability. The company was struggling with the identification of climate-related risks and opportunities and the application of the TCFD (Task Force for Climate-related Financial Disclosure) methodology. They also needed to benchmark their performance against competitors regarding the assessment of climate-related risks and opportunities. Quantifying the financial impact of these risks and opportunities was another challenge. Lastly, they needed to communicate their sustainability performance to investors and customers through recognized programs like TCFD and CDP.
The Solution
Aptar worked with Sphera to validate a risks and opportunities assessment according to the TCFD methodology. Sphera’s sustainability experts also provided feedback on methodology and guidance on the latest CDP reporting standards and helped incorporate the TCFD assessment results into Aptar’s CDP climate change response for 2020.

Improving Vending Machine Profitability with the Internet of Things (IoT)
The vending industry is undergoing a sea change, taking advantage of new technologies to go beyond just delivering snacks to creating a new retail location. Intelligent vending machines can be found in many public locations as well as company facilities, selling different types of goods and services, including even computer accessories, gold bars, tickets, and office supplies. With increasing sophistication, they may also provide time- and location-based data pertaining to sales, inventory, and customer preferences. But at the end of the day, vending machine operators know greater profitability is driven by higher sales and lower operating costs.

HEINEKEN Uses the Cloud to Reach 10.5 Million Consumers
For 2012 campaign, the Bond promotion, it planned to launch the campaign at the same time everywhere on the planet. That created unprecedented challenges for HEINEKEN—nowhere more so than in its technology operation. The primary digital content for the campaign was a 100-megabyte movie that had to play flawlessly for millions of viewers worldwide. After all, Bond never fails. No one was going to tolerate a technology failure that might bruise his brand.Previously, HEINEKEN had supported digital media at its outsourced datacenter. But that datacenter lacked the computing resources HEINEKEN needed, and building them—especially to support peak traffic that would total millions of simultaneous hits—would have been both time-consuming and expensive. Nor would it have provided the geographic reach that HEINEKEN needed to minimize latency worldwide.
