Asendia: Retailers are pushing for detailed info on their shipments’ environmental impact

Asendia, a global e-commerce and mail solutions provider, has gathered insights from leading ESG and sustainability experts as part of its Global Retail Voices initiative.

The research, which profiles 50 influential figures in the retail and e-commerce sector, includes valuable perspectives on sustainable practices from industry leaders. These experts, representing some of the world’s most respected brands, share their thoughts on the challenges and opportunities in implementing eco-friendly strategies in retail operations.

Amy Collins, Head of CSR Engagement at Asendia, emphasises the importance of sustainability in the retail sector, particularly in regards to logistics: “The world of retail is embracing sustainability, and it’s changing the game for everyone involved in transporting products to your doorstep. It’s not just about getting packages delivered fast – it’s about knowing how much carbon is emitted from each parcel. Retailers are pushing for detailed info on their shipments’ environmental impact, and it’s keeping logistics companies on their toes.

But here’s the exciting part: all these challenges are sparking new ideas. We’re seeing clever new ways to measure and cut down on emissions. The bottom line? Going green isn’t just good for the planet. It’s becoming essential for businesses to thrive and keep customers happy in our connected world. Shoppers care about this stuff, and smart companies are listening.”

The sustainability experts featured in the Global Retail Voices e-book are part of a larger group of 50 industry leaders selected for their expertise in various areas, including brand, customer experience, product, logistics, and innovation. The e-book aims to celebrate the individuals driving positive change in the retail industry while providing valuable insights for businesses looking to enhance their sustainability efforts.

The selection process for Global Retail Voices involved a comprehensive evaluation of each individual’s industry experience, social media influence, professional achievements, and overall impact on the retail sector. This rigorous approach ensures that the e-book represents a true “who’s who” of global retail.

“Selected for their contributions, these individuals collectively lead the sector,” said Simon Batt, Chief Executive Officer of Asendia. “From visionary leaders to pioneers in sustainability and customer experience, Global Retail Voices showcases diverse talents and applauds remarkable accomplishments. This initiative is not just about recognition but also about inspiring others by highlighting the extraordinary work being done in the industry.”

As a unique resource, Global Retail Voices recognises and honours the remarkable contributions of these industry leaders.
