As more retailers adopt sustainability guidelines, brands are finding it crucial to align their practices with these requirements. Major retailers like Walmart, Target, and REI have established environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria for the products they carry, often making it a prerequisite for continued shelf space. At Emerger Strategies, we specialize in helping brands not only meet these compliance standards but also create genuine impact, enhancing their reputation and marketability. Here are five ways we help brands stay ahead in retailer sustainability compliance. READ MORE: https://lnkd.in/e99Vuxth #Retail #Sustainability #SustainableBusiness #ESG

In today’s marketplace, more retailers are stepping up sustainability requirements for their suppliers, pushing companies to engage in rigorous sustainability reporting. Responding to frameworks like CDP (Carbon Disclosure Project), THESIS (The Sustainability Insight System), and Project Gigaton can feel overwhelming—especially for companies new to these requirements or operating with limited sustainability resources. At Emerger Strategies, we specialize in guiding companies through these complex reporting processes. By helping businesses measure and manage their environmental impact, we not only simplify the data collection and reporting process but also help our clients see the broader benefits of these initiatives. Aligning with retailer expectations is not just about compliance; it’s about building a more resilient, competitive, and trusted brand in the marketplace.

At Emerger Strategies, we partner with fishing & outdoor brands, brands who sell to big box retailers (Walmart, Target, REI, etc.), and industry associations to ensure they receive world-class sustainability consulting that keeps them in compliance with regulations, helps them achieve their sustainability goals, all while making the business case for sustainability. However, as businesses navigate economic turbulence, many take a defensive stance, cutting costs, reducing investments, and playing it safe. But this “batten-down-the-hatches” approach can lead to stagnation or even decline, leaving them vulnerable in the long term. This is where sustainability, often viewed as a luxury during tough times, actually becomes a powerful tool for playing offense. By proactively investing in sustainable strategies, businesses can differentiate themselves, streamline operations, foster customer loyalty, and even gain a competitive edge. Here’s how sustainability helps companies forge ahead while their competitors lag. READ MORE: https://lnkd.in/eNuxPwj6 #Sustainability #SustainableBusiness #BusinessCase
