Do you sell to, or market within, the retail space?
Are you working with Walmart? Kohls? JCPenney? Are terms like “sustainability”, “transparency”, “CPSIA”, “social consciousness”, “stakeholder engagement”, “supplier innovations” intriguing, confusing or even frightening to you?

In a challenging business environment, setting yourself apart from your competition is key, and easier to do in a down economy than you might think. By being proactive on relevent issues of sustainability, transparency, and traceability you will actively partner and engage with your retailers on the actions they are focused on right now. Be a part of their change strategy before it is regulated and/or you have been removed from the table all together.
