Season 2 Episode 9: Sustainability. The impact of retail on the world is huge so we talk about companies doing good, the greenwashing and why we feel strongly about quality over quantity,
Description
This is a topic we are both incredible passionate about, in this episode we discuss what does sustainability actually mean, how are certain retailers getting behind it. The greenwashing effect and our thoughts on some brands that are making some great changes in how we think about where our products come from. Quality vs cost and the new emerging rental market.
Here are our most passionate points summarised -
- Climate change is real problem
- and retail has realised we have had a huge part to play. We all need to step up and push to pivot into more sustainable shopping habits and be realistic about the future of retail..
- Embracing the move into rental and reused, or pre-loved. How can we as big retailers be a part of the change and offer options to encourage circular consumer habits
- Let's get back to quality as number 1, it should be a foundation brick for all retail, make to last, not to throw away. It may mean re-looking at our price architecture, but with people buying less, investing more, we need to balance our books while also not being to concerned with the cost of living, as customers mindset shifts to quality v quantity!
