betterRetailing visited Mark and Carol Stubbs, of Dereham News, Norfolk, along with Pepsico’s Kate Woolf on a recent IAA store visit to speak about environment and health issues affecting independent retailers. We covered some top tips, outlined here for you including:
- Offer healthy and locally sourced produce and consolidate local deliveries to reduce carbon emissions
- Invest in environmentally friendly solutions for your store. Use energy saving light bulbs, less water, send less waste to landfill, and recycle your cardboard
- Encourage customers and staff to live a healthier lifestyle by stocking healthier alternatives that work for them and you
