How we can help your retail operation cut costs
Shopping Bags
Plastic bag bans are sweeping the nation, because it’s one of the most visible pieces of waste. By switching to a reusable or truly recyclable bag before it’s required, you can show your brand cares about the planet.
Sustainable Materials
Sustainability is a “megatrend” in the textile and apparel industry according to Forbes.
Supply Chain
“A company’s entire supply chain can make a significant impact in promoting human rights, fair labour practices, environmental progress and anti-corruption policies.” – Mari Lou Dupont – UN Global Compact
Sustainability Information
“Radical transparency” is a top 10 trend according to a 2019 McKinsey Report. People want proof that manufacturers are sourcing and providing products in a socially responsible manner.
Shipping Packaging
More sustainable shipping packaging can be a big cost savings and is one of the most visible expressions of your sustainability to the customer.
Packaging
Your product packaging is often the first thing your customer judges about your sustainability. You can do everything else right and lose customers if your packaging doesn’t match your sustainability commitment.
