Sustainability Report 2021

Our latest Sustainability 2021 report offers a comprehensive picture of the current state and future direction of sustainability amongst Europe’s leading retailers and brands.

Which issues are important to eco-conscious consumers? Are retailers sharing their sustainability journey with shoppers? Do retailers need to think about products differently to avoid greenwashing? Can supply chains be used to deliver sustainable change? What does a pair of circular jeans look like today?

Download the full report to find out all this and more – including new business models that are developing out of the need for sustainable businesses, products and processes. We also consider the four value chains in retail: customer, product, operations and shareholder.

This report aims to investigate how businesses across Europe share their sustainability ambitions with customers. We hope brands and retailers will come away with a clearer understanding of the environmental issues at hand and most importantly – how to take action.
