Overview
SME retailers often underestimate the value of their contribution towards supporting environmental sustainability. The amplification of SME retailers’ collective power of change will require engagement and collaboration with other ecosystem players, a rethinking of operating models, as well as the deployment of digital technologies to support decision making and the maintenance of growth ambitions and shareholder value creation.
Learnings
- What does sustainability mean for SME retailers? Why should SME retailers be concerned?
- What is the state of play in Hong Kong?
- How can innovation and systematic changes in operating models and logistics, including physical vs online retail spaces, form part of retailers’ green strategies?
Post Event Actions
- Rethink the role of stakeholder collaboration in facilitating the sustainable transformation of SME retailers.
