Growth Opportunities Driven by Sustainable Retail
Evolving Sustainable Retail Practices are Driving Growth
This study focuses on sustainability practices in the retail sector. It examines the integration of sustainability practices in retail, encompassing supply chain management, eco-friendly product offerings, and the adoption of business models such as circular economy, zero-waste retail stores, and subscription-based retail.
Important drivers include governance and transparency, social responsibility, circular economy practices, and ethical consumerism. The key trends in sustainable retail include carbon-neutral or negative retailers, ethical fast fashion alternatives, and local and community-oriented retail. Drawing on industry case studies and trends, this study identifies barriers to sustainable retail adoption, such as costs, knowledge, and scalability. It reveals new opportunities for innovation; for example, adopting new green technologies, creating partnerships, and utilizing data to reduce waste.
The key findings emphasize the critical role of sustainability in enhancing brand value and contributing to global environmental goals. They highlight the growing importance of consumer demand for transparency, government and policy support, sustainable packaging, and the integration of sustainability into business models. Finally, the study is intended as a guide to help retailers properly position themselves in the sustainability-driven market, enabling more resilient retail ecosystems.
