“79% of consumers agree that it’s not enough for retailers to say that they are ethical: They need to prove it too”*Source: Ipsos-MORI Sustainability Issues In The Retail Sector Report
The consumers’ push towards sustainability is in full force
60% look to retailers to help them make sustainable choices
67% believe that retailers should use more recycled packaging
62% believe that retailers should use less packaging
51% have changed the way they shop over the past few years to take into account social and environmental issues
as retailers grapple with an uncertain economy it is tempting to reduce investment in sustainability. yet as consumer purchasing is increasingly influenced by green issues it is clear that pursuing a sustainable agenda is imperative.
*“It (sustainability) does, I’m not going to deny, if you get it right, give you a competitive advantage”Stuart Rose, CEO, Marks & Spencer, 2007
With awareness of ethical issues growing among the consumer, retailers must react quickly and respond to the demand for greener retail options. It is no longer enough to claim green credentials or to offer green product choices, you must ensure that you are embedding green principles into the fabric of your organisation.
Collaborate in the drive towards a more sustainable retail industry
This definitive one day conference will deliver invaluable insight into green retailing strategies. Practical case studies will demonstrate how you can reduce retail waste, minimise costs and effectively communicate with consumers and stakeholders.
Delegates will return to their organisation with a clear strategy to deliver real return on investment from sustainable retailing strategies.
