Retailers are facing increased scrutiny regarding their sustainability practices from consumers, environmental groups, the media and regulators alike.

New regulator powers and legislation on the horizon are also creating a greater regulatory compliance burden for the retail sector, as global efforts to combat climate change and promote ethical practices continue. A number of retailers have reported sustainability issues have led to a noticeable impact on their business as well as their legal and compliance teams.

  • Practical steps to address supply chain transparency and due diligence – actions to take now
  • Addressing the new circular economy obligations in the EU and how they may apply in the UK
  • Where green claims are falling short – lessons learnt from our experience with the CMA
