    Key Challenges in Consumer Products

    EU Sustainability Requirements

    consumer goods companies must comply with CSRD sustainability reporting, EU Green Deal packaging regulations, and extended producer responsibility — requiring integrated ESG data management.

    Omnichannel Complexity

    European and consumer brands must deliver seamless omnichannel experiences — unified inventory across physical retail, e-commerce, and social commerce in complex operating footprints.

    VAT & Post-Brexit Trade

    CPG companies must manage VAT (multi-entity 5%, complex operating footprints 15%), post-Brexit UK trade compliance, and EU customs requirements — demanding multi-jurisdiction tax management.

    Supply Chain Disruption

    consumer goods supply chains face Red Sea logistics disruption, EU supply chain due diligence (CSDDD), and demand volatility — requiring resilient planning capabilities.
