Retailers Calendar

About this Guideline and Acknowledgements
This Guidelines Manual was prepared by the UNEP/Wuppertal Institute Collaborating Centre on Sustainable
Consumption and Production (CSCP) in collaboration with the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP)
within the scope of the Sustainability in the Retailer Sector Project of the CSCP. This document reveals a
systematic process to locate value creation opportunities on the shop floor, within supply chains and consumer
relations from the sustainability and product life-cycle perspective. It is also accompanied with a separate study
identifying options for retailers to inform consumers by means of modern information technologies.
The CSCP would like to acknowledge the high-street retailers that have taken part in the project survey. Their
contribution has enriched the Manual. We do hope that their input to this project will especially help inspire others
to enhance the sustainability performance of the retail industry.
Thanks go as well to Wendy Wallace, Tomasz Muchorowski, and Daria Karetnikov for their support in the
background research work. Last but not least, the CSCP is grateful to the colleagues at UNEP for their
continuous collaboration and feedback.
