From resource scarcity to changes in policy, there are a myriad of unknown possibilities that could impact the vitality of businesses, communities and ecosystems. As a result, many companies are consulting their figurative crystal balls in hopes of discovering what the future may hold. Of course, without a time machine or a psychic gift, you can’t predict the future with *absolute* certainty. However, you can construct *plausible* future scenarios based on data, trends, observations and collective insights. Beverage Industry Environmental Roundtable (BIER) recently partnered with scenario planning experts at the [World Wildlife Fund](https://www.worldwildlife.org/) and the [Business School of Lausanne](https://www.bsl-lausanne.ch/) in Switzerland to create a [Future Scenarios Toolkit](http://www.bieroundtable.com/landing-page-future-scenarios-toolk), which can provide planning guidance in and beyond the beverage sector. Check out the Beverage Industry Environmental Roundtable's (BIER) [Future Scenarios Planning blog post](http://www.bieroundtable.com/single-post/2017/11/30/How-Future-Scenario-Planning-Can-Guide-Your-Sustainability-Strategy-in-the-Face-of-Business-Uncertainty), to learn five key benefits of future scenario planning, as well as how to the Beverage Industry Environment Roundtable's (BIER) Future Scenarios Toolkit can help. **About BIER** The Beverage Industry Environmental Roundtable (BIER) is a technical coalition of leading global beverage companies working together to advance environmental sustainability within the beverage sector.
