RETAIL'S STRATEGIC PILLARS

OUR PLANET

As sustainability and the climate crisis becomes the defining issue of our time, with mounting pressure from consumers, NGOs and governments, retailers and the retail industry have to take a proactive leading role in affecting genuine, positive change. There are big challenges for retailers to tackle and tackle urgently.

OUR SOCIETY

Retail exists to serve not only its customers but as has been underlined by the global health crisis brought about by COVID-19, it serves the needs of society itself. How can retail help shape a positive future by being part of the rejuvenation of communities, neighbourhoods and the towns and cities that have faced massive change? 

OUR ECONOMY

What does the retail industry need to ensure it can grow in national and international economies whilst helping to reskill workforces, grow employment and feed into the overall prosperity of the countries within which they operate? 

OUR BUSINESS

In the new retail landscape, the rules for success have been changed radically. Winning retailers require a business model that is fit for purpose, more agile and innovative than ever before. A new balance is being struck between the on and the offline worlds. What does this mean for your online business that has grown dramatically and what is the future for physical space?

OUR CONSUMER

At the heart of everything is the consumer. This has been taken to a new level now with the tools available through data and machine learning to form deeper understanding and therefore relationships with your customers. Do you really understand the new motivations of consumers? How can you build individual relationships with your customers? 

OUR PLAN FOR CHANGE

It's dynamic leadership, the empowerment of people throughout organisations, and the willingness to embrace partnerships with other businesses that'll help deliver real change that serves customers' needs, and positively impact the world. How can retailers rethink recruitment to deliver diversity, unleash talent and new ideas throughout the business and the wider industry?
