Download the 2013 Top 100 Report COVER STORY | BY ALI ACKERMAN & ALARICE PADILLA Consumer confidence was a bit manic in 2012, hitting a five-year high in November and then dropping again in December as consumers doubted an end to the fiscal cliff, according toThe University of Mich- igan Consumer Sentiment Index. This uncertainty plays out in the results of CGT’s annual list of the top- performing public consumer goods companies. The vertical lists across 10 categories show a mixture of bright and dark spots — proving that some companies did a great job of capturing the consumer when and TOP where they could while others missed opportunities. Here is a breakdown of the rules and guidelines that we use to determine the players in each category: Company Rank: 2012 annual revenue or the equivalent is used to determine each company’s placement on the Top 100 list and on each vertical list. All financial information was sourced from annual reports and press releases. Revenue for each company is reported in millions of U.S. dollars ($M). If a company reported revenue in a currency other than U.S. dollars, and did not provide the U.S. dollar equivalent in its annual report, then the figure was subject to live exchange rates at press time (between November 8-14, 2013). Year-over-year gains and losses are reported based on information from the aforementioned sources. The company with the greatest sales gains per category is identified as the “Growth Leader”. Company Inclusion: Because revenue for most private companies is not readily available, the lists only in- clude publicly traded companies. Thus, well-known consumer goods companies, like Mars Inc. or SC Johnson, are absent from the rankings. Slicing and Dicing: In the case of holding companies CONSUMER GOODS and companies that sell in more than one category 100 (PepsiCo, Unilever, etc.), the company is placed in the vertical that accounts for the majority of its sales. For example, LVMH Moet Hennesy Louis Vuitton oper- ates in the beverage, health & beauty aid and retail categories. However, since the majority of its sales came from its fashion and leather goods business, the REGISTRY company appears on the Apparel, Accessories & Foot- THE WORLD’S BEST-PERFORMING PUBLIC wear list. It is also worth noting that only sales from CONSUMER GOODS COMPANIES consumer divisions are considered when ranking companies on the Pharmaceutical list (and in fewer cases on the Housewares/Appliances list). Mergers, Demergers and Acquisitions: In most cases, transactions that took place in 2012 and 2013 are not reflected on the lists. There are exceptions to this rule. For example, even though Mondelez International, Inc. did not officially complete the spin off of Kraft Foods +A YEAR Group, Inc. until October 2012, each company reported revenue separately for the year. Mergers and acquisi- tions that occurred in 2011 or earlier (for example, Sara IN REVIEW Lee Corporation’s split) are reflected in the ranking. A LOOK BACK AT THE Read on to find out which companies led and which INDUSTRY’S BIGGEST companies lagged in 2012.

  • Vanish Partners with the British Fashion Council on a Mission to Change Consumer Behaviours and Help Clothes Live Longer
    Vanish partners with the British Fashion Council on a mission to change consumer behaviours and help clothes live longer Thursday 1st October 2020, London: RB, the makers of Vanish, has signed a first-of-its-kind partnership with the British Fashion Council (BFC), as part of its global mission to promote responsible clothing production and consumption. The partnership, which sees Vanish become the BFC’s official Garment Care Partner, will undertake research and support consumer education to establish sustainable fashion behaviours including wearing clothes for longer, buying pre-loved garments, and re-purposing and recycling clothes in our wardrobes. According to the UN Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), the fashion industry is the second most polluting industry in the world due to water, carbon and waste. As for carbon emissions, the industry is responsible for more than all international flights and maritime shipping combined1. The positive impact that shifts in consumer behaviour would have on carbon emissions, and the consequences of inaction, are clear from recent research: • Fashion accounts for 4% of all global carbon emissions and sustainable consumer behaviour could impact as much as 21% of total carbon emissions from the industry2. • If we do not make changes to our consumption, CO2 emissions from the clothing industry are expected to rise to nearly 2.7 billion tonnes per year by 2030, the equivalent of emissions produced by nearly 230 million passenger vehicles driven for a year2. • Currently, consumers have very low awareness of the environmental impact of the clothes in their wardrobe, with more than one third of 16-24-year olds saying they are embarrassed to wear an outfit more than once3, and only 44% of clothes in our wardrobes are actually worn4.

  • Consumer Propensity Report by Category
    Consumer Propensity Report Marketing and Merchandising Intelligence for Local Business The Consumer Propensity Report (CPR) shows the lifestyle, product, and psychographic likelihood indices for the consumers within the trade area being analyzed. Major retail, restaurant, grocery, and consumer packaged goods firms use this very same information to drive marketing and merchandising decisions. Each analyzed item is assigned a propensity index score with 100 being average. For example, if the consumers within a trade score a 120 for a given analysis item you know that those consumers are 20% more likely to participate in or purchase that item than the average American household. A propensity index score of 80 would indicate that those consumers would be 20% less likely than the average American household to participate in or purchase that item. Information is provided for 32 major categories with over 4,800 total line items. Please note that line items are based upon national‐level purchasing and lifestyle characteristics. These line items are then correlated to the underlying household characteristics of the consumers within the trade area being analyzed. Some line items may not be necessarily relevant or available currently in your market or region. The index score in these situations serves to indicate the degree to which the consumers would participate in or purchase that item if it were relevant and available. Often this is taken as an opportunity for expansion of a similar brand or concept within the category. CPR Categories Apparel

In making their recommendation, the Independent Directors have carefully considered a full range of expert advice available to them. Therefore you should take no action. The principal reasons for recommending that shareholders do not accept are: _ Having regard to a full range of expert advice now available to the Independent Directors (including the Independent Adviser’s valuation range of $1.28 to $1.57 per FPA Share), the Independent Directors consider that the Offer of $1.20 per FPA Share does not adequately reflect their view of the value of FPA based on their confidence in the strategic direction of the Company; and _ FPA is in a strong financial position and, as the Independent Adviser notes, FPA is at a “relatively early stage of implementation of the company’s comprehensive rebuilding strategy”.
