FIRST OF ITS KIND REPORT HIGHLIGHTS RETAIL SUSTAINABILITY LEADERSHIP AND INNOVATION 

Comprehensive Report Explores Retail’s Sustainability Successes, Challenges and Vision for the Future

The Retail Industry Leaders Association (RILA) has released the first ever industry-wide Retail Sustainability Report today. The 2012 report highlights sustainability leadership in the retail industry and discusses retail’s environmental, social, and community impacts – those impacts within a company’s four walls, in the products they sell, and in the broader communities they touch.

“As one of the leading industries to embrace sustainability, it is becoming a core consideration for the retail industry,” said Adam Siegel, RILA vice president of sustainability and retail operations. “Retailers are working to incorporate sustainability into their strategy, operations, workforce engagement, and connection to consumers and communities."

“RILA’s first sustainability report is an important step forward for the retail industry.  Our hope is that RILA’s efforts will inspire retailers around the globe to take action and engage in sustainability more deeply and strategically – to ensure a healthier bottom line as well as a healthier planet. BSR looks forward to collaborating with industry leaders to ensure that sustainability stays top of mind in the years to come,” said Ted Howes, director of advisory services for Business for Social Responsibility (BSR). 

“This report is a first look at the broader industry’s accomplishments, challenges, and future directions.  It lays a foundation to determine where we can go from here,” said Siegel.
