Shoppers remain concerned about sustainability. Work on green initiatives in your business by enrolling in the Retail Learning Institute’s course on the Top 10 Waste Reduction Topics for grocery stores, produced in collaboration with IGA’s Red Oval Partner Ratio Institute.
Course Description:
The Ratio Institute proudly presents its Top 10 Waste Reduction Topics, highlighting the ten easy operational practices that can help your grocery store boost waste and recycling rates and perhaps most important your store’s revenue.
Waste is not only harmful for the environment, but it can also harm profits. This course will help your store work on its environmental goals and capitalize on revenue-generating items. From litter inspection in the parking lot to understanding the value of commonly recycled materials, these strategies can help you build a more sustainable and profitable store.
By implementing these procedures, you will communicate to customers that your store cares about the environment—a value that many shoppers will share. Additional signage that reminds shoppers to bring reusable bags and prominently placed recycling bins can help shoppers participate as well.
While shopper engagement is important, employee engagement is crucial. By creating a culture that values sustainability and by ensuring that recyclable items are properly disposed of, your store will improve its sustainability and revenue targets.
With strategies to handle hazardous waste and to earn money by recycling cardboard, this course on waste reduction topics will provide you with actionable strategies to make your store more sustainable.
