Are you leaving money on the table by ignoring your retail business’s environmental impact? A groundbreaking white paper from EMSOL reveals that proactively tackling pollution isn’t just good for public health – it can be a major competitive advantage.
Key insights include:
- 64.7% of consumers say cleaner air would greatly influence their choice of delivery providers
- 75% would advocate for a more environmentally-friendly delivery service
- 89.3% would pay more for demonstrably greener deliveries
Contrary to conventional wisdom, sustainability and profitability needn’t be at odds. Proactive retailers are discovering that prioritising emissions reductions, especially in the supply chain, unlocks powerful business benefits:
- Attracting eco-conscious customers and building brand preference
- Increasing sales by differentiating from competitors
- Strengthening community relations by mitigating local pollution
- Achieving sustainability targets and avoiding greenwashing accusations
However, the white paper finds most retailers still lack the tools and data to effectively reduce their pollution footprint. Legacy solutions provide only generalised, retroactive emissions reporting. Without granular, real-time insights into specific polluting activities, retailers struggle to drive meaningful change.
