Popis: The retail industry’s economic and environmental impact encompasses global supply chains and many thousands of facilities; it therefore has a significant impact on human health and the environment, and a responsibility for reducing this impact. This chapter begins with an overview of retail’s most common and significant environmental impacts and examines the origin of sustainable planning and operations, the business case for sustainability programs, and the maturation of retail sustainability programs.
