Unitas’ latest Plan for Profit series of Focus On guides is offering insight and retailer-specific advice on sustainability, including information on the proposed Deposit Return Scheme.
It also has expert advice on energy efficiency, waste management and more, including an overview of consumer attitudes towards sustainability.
“All the data shows that sustainability is a key priority for consumers, and convenience retailers need to reflect this or risk losing customers to the bigger supermarkets who shout about the green credentials,” said David Cooke, chief operating officer, Unitas.

Cooke explained why Unitas has chosen to produce the guide: “We recognise how challenging the trading landscape is right now for retailers, and we wanted to summarise the latest data around sustainability to make life a little easier. In the guide, we share insight and advice to support our members’ retail customers to adopt more sustainable practices as well as products, to meet rising consumer demand.”
“Not only will this lead to a more sustainable future, but these measures will also save retailers money, boost their reputation locally, attract new customers and future-proof their business, so it’s a clear win win.”
Focus On Sustainability is available now on the Plan for Profit website and app, including wider sustainability messaging from key supplier partners such as CCEP, Nestle, Mondelez and Capri-Sun.
