About this Event
From shop floors to supply chains, packaging to deliveries, the potential for retail businesses to have a positive impact on sustainability is huge.
And consumers are paying attention. A study by IBM found that over 70% were willing to pay an average premium of 35% for greener products.
It's an opportunity to breathe new life into the high street, helping customers shop local, support their communities, and buy sustainably.
Join us on 21 May at the stunning Aldingbourne Country Centre to hear from sustainable retail experts, who have taken big steps to reduce their environmental impact while strengthening their business.
You’ll hear about:
- Reducing the carbon emissions of your premises through energy efficiency and other measures, even if you’re renting.
- Understanding how your supply chain can be the key to lowering your environmental impact.
- How changes to product design and materials can help make your products more sustainable without impacting price or quality.
- How to make the most of increased consumer demand for sustainable and ethical products.
- Communicating your sustainability initiatives with your customers and avoiding greenwashing.
- Embedding circular models into your business, to increase efficiency and reduce waste.
Speakers include:
- James Budd, Founder/MD, Design Packaging
- Mike Turner/Krisi, Co-Founders, Bird & Blend
More speakers to be announced soon!
There will be ample time for networking and a light lunch and refreshments will be provided.
