Lets go round again: Circularity in retail
5th December – 12pm (GMT)
Consumer interest in sustainable and circular retail solutions is growing steadily, which is complimented in growing investor and board member interest due to increased regulatory pressures. With many consumers already participating in parts of the circular economy ie reselling products, repairing or recycling there are multiple opportunities for retailers to scale these consumer practices while improving existing customer relationships and generating new revenue streams.
Emerging, fast growth brands who have embedded eco consciousness into their core business foundations have had great success implementing circularity-focused projects whereas traditional retailers have influence over product design and manufacturing processes due to purchasing volumes. However, no retailer is completing circularity across the board and many are trying establish what to prioritise first.
This informal roundtable will cover changing consumer expectations, smart strategies and benchmarking.
