“RGDATA members are community retailers that are extremely invested in their local area and many are already making positive interventions to address climate change and sustainability. Don’t let PR spin from the global multiples detract for the very real interventions being made at a local level by Irish family-owned shops.” RGDATA Director General Tara Buckley made the comments after a presentation by Sustainability Works to the Retail Forum on the threats and opportunities that climate change poses for retail businesses.
Threats include impact on supply chain from extreme weather events and opportunities identified include increased sales and reaching new consumers.
