Retail World FMCG Sustainability Barometer Survey set to kick off

Retail World Magazine and the FMCG Sustainability Institute (FSI) have joined forces to benchmark sustainability in the Australian industry via a major research project.

The Retail World FMCG Sustainability Barometer Survey will be the most comprehensive view of sustainability progress in the sector to date.

The project is made possible through the generous sponsorship of Jigsaw Strategic Research and i-Link Research Solutions. The study will also be conducted with the support of the POPAI Sustainability Committee via its Future’s So Bright Green Sustainability Conference.

The Barometer aims to determine where the collective Australian FMCG and Retail industry is at in relation to environmental, social and economic sustainability.

New carbon economy: what it means for FMCG

Major retailers seeking to reduce their carbon emissions will be looking at their supply chain, in the wake of the new Australian carbon pollution reduction scheme. Shoppers will increasingly look to the carbon footprint of the products they buy.

For Retail World Magazine by the FMCG Sustainability Institute, a joint initiative of Shopportunity and EcoSTEPS to provide Sustainability  thought leadership, research, education and advice to the FMCG industry. For more information visit www.fmcg-sustain.com.au

Whether you are a climate change believer or skeptic, one thing is for sure: the carbon issue is escalating and will have a major impact on the economy more broadly, and FMCG specifically, over the next few years.
