• Work closely with internal stakeholders (Operations, Procurement, Commercial) and external partners (bottlers, logistics providers) to ensure a smooth, cost-effective, and compliant transition.
• Identify and mitigate supply chain risks related to the shift to reusable packaging and track project milestones against sustainability targets.
