Our latest Sustainability 2022 report offers a comprehensive picture of the current state and future direction of sustainability amongst Europe’s leading retailers and brands.
Sustainability continues to grow in importance across the political, social and retail governance landscapes. The past year has seen changes brought about by agreements made at COP26 as well fluctuating policy in the US and energy provision becoming a major concern for the EU. It is against this backdrop that the RetailX Sustainability 2022 report is published.
