Sustainability and the retail sectorSustainability and the retail sector
� Since the early nineties, large retailers have beenreporting on their environmental issues. Then, theyincluded the social dimension to the environmental
report.� Now, the trend is that large retailers publish
sustainability reports with indicators generallyelaborated by themselves. (comparability betweentwo retailers reports)
� In 2002 two retailers issued a sustainability reportbased on some of the GR I Guidelines (Carrefour,Kesko) . We will study those two as beingrepresentative of the sector. This does not discardthe other reports which are also relevant.
