Bridging the Gap: Leading Nature-Positive Change in Retail
80% of UK consumers are willing to pay more for sustainably produced goods, but many retailers have yet to integrate nature into their business models (Rufina Designs, 2025). The BRC Nature & Business 1-Day Masterclass, delivered by Nature Positive, helps retail leaders close this gap. This session provides practical tools to develop and implement nature strategies that drive sustainable growth and resilience.
Led by expert facilitators, Lauren, Simon and Tom, participants will gain clarity on key nature-related frameworks, policies, and tools, enabling them to lead impactful change in their businesses. Get prepared by cutting through the plethora of frameworks, policies, and directives to clarify what you need to pay attention to now, what is on the horizon, and what will help your business to accelerate progress.
