Future Outlook of
Sustainability for
Outdoor Voices

Eliminate all waste from community events, with 90%
landfill diversion
Launch circular product take-back and repair
programs
Increase percentage of traceable fibers from recycled
sources seasonally (Goal: 80% by 2022)
Increase number of bluesign certified fabrics
seasonally (Goal: 50% by 2021)

SWOT Strengths
Analysis:
Outdoor Outdoor Voices advantage is their brand strategy this idea behind workout gear
Voices for recreational use. Marketing is OV strong suit showcasing real women in their
products. Sustainability aspect makes OV unique by designing through the lens
SECIOV ROODTUO of longevity and circularity to reduce our environmental impact.

Weaknesses

Although sustainability is OV strong suit, there is always room to improve. In a
industry perspective OV lacks in flagship stores and distribution. OV could benefit
from selling to 3rd parties. Our competitors monitor every aspect of their supply
chain which is something OV could improve and begin being more transparent.

Opportunities

Outdoor Voices could explore in new innovative fabrics such as hemp,
TENCEL etc. OV could be certified in Better Cotton Initiative, SA8000
certification (ensures no forced or child labor, safe working conditions, and
the right to unionize) or OEKO-certified (safe dyes and stray fibers)

Threats

OV puts their customer first so in order for OV to expand they must be environmentally
consciousness yet hit their sales quota. OV competitors are Girlfriend Collective, Mate
the label and Richer Poorer. Our competitors are certified by various initiatives. OV has
yet to patriciate in initiatives which might make the customer turn to our competitors.

Mission Statement:

Terra Coffee mission is to reduce the use of
single-use plastic. Terra Coffee aims to be
95% zero waste coffee shop. We are always
be making moves for a better brighter future,

one plastic cup at a time.

Partnering with Outdoor Voices to bring
awareness to the zero-waste movement.

Values:

Terra Coffee values supporting a Green Businesses,
Knowing our waste, Community and Authenticity.
#Say No to Single used Plastic.

Step 1: Find a
Farm

Terra Coffee will have 2 plastic barrels (holding
about 41 lbs) in the back of our store. All of
Terra coffee grounds and food waste will be
tossed into the barrels.

When they’re full, the farm trades out the
barrels and adds our waste to their compost piles

at the farms.

Step 2: Find a
Commercial
Composting Facility

Commercial Composting is a recycling company, however we
will conduct an audit of our local current waste management.
Terra Coffee will have bins for cardboard, mixed recycling,
and commercially compostable items.

What goes in the bins: PLA lined paper & plastic cups, lids &
straws, our bakery tissue, paper towel, paper bags, paper
scraps and other organic matter that will break down.

Step 3: Purchase
Compostable
Serving items

Terra Coffee will use compostable paper and
plastic cups and straws. We make sure our paper
bags, cup sleeves, bakery tissue, and paper towel

Future Outlook for
Terra Coffee

use plastic items by 2025.
Expand e-commerce shop into selling zero waste
products.
By using compostable serving items Terra Coffee will
save 17,858 trees.
Since Terra Coffee only uses reusable items we have
saved 59,290,000 gallons of water.
Terra Coffee have diverted from plastic straws by
doing so, we save 1,078,064 single-use straws.

By 2025:

Build a Terra Coffee café using recycled materials
Expand into a Merch using sustainable practices.

SWOT Strengths
Analysis:
Terra My company advantages are having a unique concept with all compostable
Coffee items, health benefitting drinks, zero-waste store, and we support local farms.
We provide our consumers with unique and educational experience. We
EEFFOC ARRET compost our food waste & grounds with a local farm.

Weaknesses

Our compostable system will always be improving and evolving with
our business. Terra Coffee lacks an app for efficiency. Our
competitors are better at doing to-go orders and an app development.

Opportunities

Terra Coffee can expand into a building to reach more people in the
area. Terra will actively participate in Social Media, connecting with
consumers. We can use technology to be efficient for a seamless
consumer journey. Terra Coffee policies will has be transparent.

Threats

An obstacle could be maintaining compostable methods. My competitors are Juan
Pelato Café (local coffee shop), Starbucks and Chamberlain Coffee (E-commerce
coffee shop). Starbucks is the leading coffe chain and if they choose to use
compostable or recyclable products, this would affect my company.

shops as places to conduct business.

Starbucks Starbucks conducts its own form of market research is
Target through its My Starbucks Idea platform, which it rolled
Customer out in 2008 as part of the company's "Transformation
Research Agenda" at the time. The idea behind it remains the
same: customers, potential customers, and employees
can go to the website to submit any ideas they have for
new offerings, changes they’d like to see to anything
that already exists, requests to bring back old products,
and more.

Starbucks regularly tests new products in select stores,
which helps the company figure out if it needs to make
any changes before launching them in other markets —
or if it will even continue the launch in other markets.
Starbucks also uses data from several market research
firms, as well as data gleaned from its own stores, to
shape its new product lines.

Starbucks Starbucks has kept pace with this trend among health-
Target conscious consumers and customers with special dietary
Customer limitations. The company began offering soy milk in 2004.
Research: In 2015 it launched drinks with coconut milk, and in
Alternative 2016, it began offering almond milk. Starbucks also
Milk began offering oat milk in its European stores in 2018 to
keep up with trends there.

The company says that a major reason that it launched
these dairy-free milk alternatives was that they were some
of the most requested offerings on its "My Starbucks Idea'
platform.

During 2014, the company also tested the use of coconut
milk in stores located in Cleveland, Los Angeles, and
Oregon. The results of the tests and combined market
research were positive enough for Starbucks to begin
rolling out coconut milk nationwide.
