Accelerating sustainability initiatives across retail giant’s operations and supply chain

Created an engaging, innovative and collaborative forum to inspire action on systemic issues​ across their external ecosystem and value chain

The largest franchisee of a global home furnishing retailer was looking to accelerate its sustainability ambition across its business operations and value chain. In its journey to become a leader in tackling climate change, the client sought collaborative solutions that involve both internal stakeholders and external partners. With this background, the client engaged Xynteo to develop and implement a programme that can break down barriers, inspire action, and position it as a purpose-driven retailer with positive societal impact.
