Quarterly Rally: Accelerating Avery Dennison’s Platform Transformation
Body
3–5 paragraphs['This quarter, we focus on three priorities to drive valuation expansion and category leadership: (1) Scaling our Connected Product Intelligence Platform, (2) Deepening our sustainability compliance backbone, and (3) Monetizing consumer and operational intelligence. These initiatives are designed to shift Avery Dennison from a materials leader to a recurring digital revenue platform, unlocking new growth vectors and market differentiation.', 'Our cultural shift: Move from ‘product-first’ to ‘platform-first’ thinking. Every team must prioritize scalable, data-driven solutions that create recurring value for our customers and partners—especially Walmart, adidas, Gap/Athleta, and Burton Snowboards. This mindset will enable us to capture higher multiples and become indispensable in physical commerce intelligence.', 'The metric we will live or die by: Recurring digital revenue growth rate. This is the clearest signal of our platform success, customer stickiness, and ability to command a premium valuation. All leaders are accountable for driving this metric through their respective initiatives.']
