Special Report: Go for the Green

Overall Program Development
A key takeaway from the report is that retail companies' sustainability programs are following a continuous development curve. They begin with a simple project, often waste or energy reduction, and then refine the program by developing and implementing strategies, tracking the progress over time. These activities uncover a range of benefits, from improved customer loyalty to decreased costs to more resilient supply chains. The measured business benefits fuel further investment and, in turn, create continuous strategies to strengthen environmental sustainability programs over time.
