The Retail Forum will take place on Thursday 21 May 2015 from 14:30 to 18:00. The Retail Forum is a multi-stakeholder platform set up to exchange best practices on sustainability in the European retail sector and to further enhance sustainable consumption and production.

Retailers in Europe are in an exceptional position to promote more sustainable consumption not only via their daily contact with millions of European consumers, but also through their own actions and their partnerships with suppliers.
The Retail Forum has been working on bringing to the fore more sustainable products. Currently the Forum is preparing for the next cycle which will focus on how to develop a truly functioning circular economy.

More details can be found on the Retail Forum website.
