Eco-friendly Retail and E-commerce: Commerce as an Agent of Sustainable Change

05 Jun , 10:00–11:30
Russian Small and Medium-sized Enterprises Forum: Industries
pavilion G, conference hall G3

Developing environmentally responsible consumption is one of the key challenges to achieving national environmental goals. Retail and e-commerce can make a significant contribution to the development of a culture of environmentally responsible behaviour. A particular feature of the retail and e-commerce sector is that it has a large number of participants in the economic chain. For a successful transformation, it is necessary to combine the efforts of all parties, taking into account their interests. How may all stakeholders interact in order to achieve sustainable development goals? What steps are being taken today to create a new consumer culture and high environmental standards? What role do regulators play in this process? What application solutions exist in retail to implement ESG strategies? How can the unification of digital e-commerce platforms influence agenda-setting?
