- Top Trends for 2022 (Compliance Considerations)
The last two years have ushered in significant shifts in environmental and sustainability issues impacting retail. This session takes a high level look at some of the top trends in environmental compliance and sustainability expected to continue in 2022 in areas such as solid waste, refrigerants, chemicals in products, and climate resilience. To provide examples of what acting on these trends look like in practice, Jay Kairam, Director of Global Public Policy at Walmart, touches on Walmart’s perspective on the retail industry’s role in shaping the changing waste landscape. Ron Jarvis, Chief Sustainability Officer with The Home Depot, discusses the company’s approach to climate business resilience. Andy Dabydeen, Manager of Product Stewardship Compliance at Canadian Tire, shares how they are staying ahead of the curve in the ever-evolving regulatory landscape surrounding chemicals of concern. This session is an opportunity to consider how retail functions can work together to find solutions and new approaches to these challenges.
