    • Co-Creation: Social Media Contests

      • Consumers design the artwork that will be on the new Oreo packaging, have consumers vote on their favorite, the winner receives a lifetime’s worth of Oreo's and a free Panda t-shirt with their design on it

      • Consumers film reels of them taste testing the new Oreo’s with various plant-based milks, trying to find the best one that pairs well with the vegan Oreos, consumers will vote on their favorite milk, participating influencers receive some sponsorship compensation along with a year’s supply of the vegan Oreo’s and their favorite plant-based milk

Triple Bottom Line Strategy

Oreo + World Wildlife Fund

UN Sustainable Development Goal: #12 - Responsible Consumption and Production

    • Consumers apart of the sustainable packaging design

    • Hold pop-up events where the community can turn in their recyclables

    • Eliminate single-use plastic: biodegradable packaging only

    • Limiting factory/production emissions

    • Fully vegan cookie - can break down and be used with compost to support healthier plant growth

    • Donating a fraction of the profits to the World Wildlife Fund

    • Sponsoring/compensating consumers who participate in social media contests

    • Invest in other sustainable practices or local wildlife sanctuaries
