【#GuruCase Series | Mr. Samuel Lee: “As a member of the retail industry, we also aim to promote sustainable lifestyles among our customers in Hong Kong.”】 What factors do you consider besides affordability and quality when purchasing different daily necessities? With the increasing emphasis on sustainable development, consumers and businesses are more concerned about responsible consumption and production, in the pursuit of maintaining the quality of life without putting excessive pressure on the environment. In this episode of #GuruCase, the PSLB team is honored to invite Mr. Samuel Lee, the Managing Director of Watsons Hong Kong, to share with us how the company, as a chained health and beauty retailer, collaborates with value chain partners to promote sustainable development and encourage customers to change their consumption behaviors. Here are some of their initiatives: 1. AS Watson Group has introduced the ‘Greener Stores Global Framework’, which incorporates green elements into store design to improve energy efficiency. 2. Promote suppliers to jointly support sustainable consumption and production practices, such as minimizing unnecessary packaging and ensuring all rinse-off products are microplastic-free. 3. Collaborate with different suppliers to launch recycling reward programs, to encourage customers to build a recycling habit.

International Sales Director ⭐New technologies | LVMH | Danone⭐ "I adapt the key success factors of the FMCG&Premium sectors to your industry & use my omni-channel expertise to innovate & outperform your results."
🌟 What is the most important? the container or the content ❓ 🌱 Having worked in FMCG and luxury sectors, this question has always intrigued me. 🤔 Initially, I prioritized the content in my sales pitches, convincing clients that our products were superior in terms of benefits and quality, including sourcing premium raw materials. However, the container soon became a hot topic. 💥 🥛 During my time at Danone in the 2010s, we launched the "KISS" project (Keep it Simple and Safe) to produce new yogurt pots without extra packaging—a company-wide effort from supply chain to distribution! 💄 After 10 years in luxury, I witnessed the undeniable impact of first impressions. Packaging plays a crucial role in elevating the product and creating desire. ♻️ In 2024, sustainability and CSR policies drive us to higher standards in this field. 💬 From my participation at the "Edition Spéciale by Luxe Pack" salon, two key exchanges stood out: ✨ Jules Coignard from Circul'R discussed the importance of circularity and coalitions among companies in the same category—a powerful lever for change! ✨ My conversation with Rajiv Ranade from PA Consulting about their development of a paper bottle, which could soon replace our spirit and cosmetic bottles with a few more optimizations. 🌍 Our modern needs and desires for progress towards a more sustainable economy compel us to be demanding in both container and content. The future is ahead of us! 🏃♀️ #LuxuryPackaging #Sustainability #Innovation #CircularEconomy #BusinessGrowth #FutureForward ------ Thank you for sharing my passion for business growth through bold behaviours!
