ENVIRO SHOP
New Zealand Retailers Association is committed to sustainability in retailing
As New Zealand businesses and communities move to address the highly topical issue of sustainability, the New Zealand Retailers Association has recognised that there is an opportunity to assist businesses who can see the benefits and commercial advantage in being a responsible and forward thinking leader on sustainability matters.
The Association has presented a new perspective in the retail space (ENVIRO SHOP) – one that puts people first and engages them in new ways. Building a relationship with shoppers based on values such as sustainability impacts beyond the storefront. The retail sector is poised to lead by example and start and affect a change that is so clearly visible to all New Zealanders.
The ENVIRO SHOP programme has been tailored to categories within the retail sector – one size does not fit all. Because of its broad reach, the retail sector has the potential to affect significant change in society in a way that no other industry can. Virtually all New Zealanders are impacted by retail, whether by our weekly trip to the food store, or to fashion stores, home furnishings stores, or the corner convenience store.
