Retail is the interface with the end customers. Going green in this space helps to raise awareness among a wide audience.

Green retailing is the  practice of running your business with eco-friendly processes. Below are some sustainable practices in retail that can be implemented:

  • Sell greener/ethical products
  • Use environmentally friendly POS displays (wood-based decor and displays), choose paints containing low levels of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), bring houseplants into your store,  switch to bulk dispensers,
  • Reduce your waste, avoid using single-use items, offer biodegradable bags, eliminate paper receipts, reuse boxes and other packaging materials, rescue food and decrease food waste
  • Offer in-store recycling programmes (customers can bring in their plastic waste and receive a voucher for various products in your store or a discount)
  • Make some eco-friendly store upgrades (automatic light sensors in bathrooms and stockrooms, LED light bulbs, water-efficient sinks and toilets)

88%

of consumers express that they will stay loyal to a company placing importance on sustainability.
