Month Enhance efficiency of your in-store operations 3 Planning and pre-assessment In the coming three chapters the guide will assist you to identify opportunities and implement concrete performance enhancing projects to increase efficiency and reduce environmental impact from the perspective of your in-store operations. This chapter focuses on developing an understanding of trends and challenges and suggests an easy to use methodology to scope priority areas for detailed review and action in retail operation. Trends & issues As discussed in Chapter 2, ‘in house’ activities may not represent the majority of overall life-cycle impacts. Improving in-store performance nevertheless offers benefits that are directly perceived by retailers through reduced operating cost, improved asset utilisation and greater profitability. For this reason, addressing in-store issues is a good first step for retailers to contribute to sustainability while reducing cost at the same time. Addressing in-house environmental issues can be an important intangible value driver because improved inhouse performance can be easily communicated to management, staff, consumers and other stakeholders, which will serve to enhance your corporate image. Furthermore, there already exist well-established Cleaner Production Methodologies originating from the manufacturing sector that can be directly applied to retail operations. An often neglected opportunity area for the retail sector is that of the building and surrounding landscape. Vehicle parking facilities, for instance, are often sources of significant oil contamination in urban rainwater runoff. Green building design has been gathering momentum for some time in the office building sector due to reduced operating costs and enhanced working environment for staff. Similar opportunities are available in the retail sector in terms of reduced energy and operating costs in addition to making for a more inviting customer shopping experience.
