Retailers are pressing ahead with climate protection

Climate protection has played an important role in retail for some time now. The retail industry, an essential part of the economy, has been making major contributions to compliance with climate targets. “Eighty-four percent of retail companies have issued climate impact assessments, taken measures to reduce emissions or set binding, verifiable climate protection goals in accordance with the Paris Climate Agreement. Climate and environmental protection initiatives are also becoming increasingly important,” says Cathrin Klitzsch, Project Manager for Climate and Energy Research, commenting on the EHI white paper “Climate Protection Management in the Retail Industry 2023”, which was issued as part of the Climate Neutrality in Retail initiative.
