ESG & Retail
In Retail, ESG is playing an increasingly important role. Firstly, because sustainability is increasingly a criterion for consumers when buying products or services. Companies respond to this by propagating their ESG policy and stating how sustainable their products and services are. This also results in Europe increasingly seeking to regulate consumer protection in this area. Speaking examples of initiatives are the proposals for:
- A European Sustainability Claims Directive; and
- A European Directive to promote repair of goods.
