CSR COMMUNITY
Retail operations and supply chains are dependent on healthy environments and communities across the world. However, there are growing concerns over the pressures facing people and our planet. Retailers are challenged to solve these issues, but these are often complex problems that require collaborative approaches with a range of actors.
The CSR Community provides the platform for retailers to work together, often with NGOs and governments, and lead the drive for positive change.
