Sustainability in Consumer Goods Wholesale
As a central transshipment point between manufacturers, suppliers and retailers, the wholesale trade for consumer goods plays a key role in the sustainable transformation. The industry responds to new market requirements, recognizes trends in consumer behavior and helps retailers optimize their product ranges and expand the range of sustainable products. The industry’s sustainability efforts are aimed at high product quality and compliance with the highest possible environmental and social standards along the supply and production chains, starting with the optimization of our own processes.
If products come from distant regions with long supply chains, retailers are faced with the task of determining and minimizing CO2 emissions along the transport and storage chain, if necessary finding alternative sources with “short supply chains” and as low in CO2 as possible Using renewable energies to store and transport.
