We began this initiative in response to the increasing importance of sustainability across all parts of the sector. For a large segment of consumers, it is already top of mind. Shareholders and investors are demanding more accountability related to environmental, social and governance aspects of business. Employees want to work for organisations that have a strong sense of purpose and are making a contribution to the environmental and social challenges we face.
Sustainability is now core to the business strategy of industry leaders. Beyond the sustainability function, more and more areas of businesses (such as legal, finance and marketing, to name just a few) are getting involved to shape sustainability strategies and execute them to achieve measurable goals.
The online survey, which takes 12 minutes to complete and can be accessed here, asks respondents to provide their point of view on a range of sustainability-related topics. We would very much appreciate your perspective on this increasingly important topic for the retail and consumer sector. The survey questions the extent to which you have been involved in sustainability-related topics to date. Whether the answer is “not at all” to “very actively” involved, we are eager to hear your point-of-view and learn from your experience.
The survey is anonymous, however, at the end we offer you the opportunity to provide your name if you would like to receive a summary report about this research and/or discuss the topic further. Thank you in advance for your time and input!
