When Trellis assessed food industry leaders and laggards in 2021, Post Holdings featured in the second category. Back then, the maker of food service products (Michael Foods), breakfast cereals (Grape-Nuts, Weetabix) and pet foods (Rachael Ray Nutrish) hadn’t set emission targets and wasn’t fully disclosing emissions.

Fanny Moizant has been at the forefront of the circular fashion movement, co-launching Vestiaire Collective from her Paris apartment 16 years ago. On Jan. 5, she shared on LinkedIn that the company is forcing her out as president.

The opinions expressed here by Trellis expert contributors are their own, not those of Trellis. Listening to a recent Two Steps Forward podcast, I found myself unexpectedly riled up. Joel Makower and Solitaire Townsend were lamenting the lack of corporate thought leadership today. Where is it? Who’s doing it? Why aren’t companies stepping up more […]

When Amazon’s MGM Studios filmed the second season of the Prime Video series “Fallout,” it substituted the diesel generators traditionally used to electrify movie and television productions with a network of solar-powered trailers. The technology, called Solar Ring, from GreenLite Trailers, provided 4,952 kilowatt-hours of electricity to 14 trailers in the production’s central basecamp over […]
