- Leading in the Community
Whether helping customers navigate a difficult time, driving meaningful progress around social issues, or advancing policies that keep us all safe, retailers are true community leaders. Retailers understand their voice is needed in complex policy conversations that impact the health and safety of our communities, and that as an industry, we are uniquely positioned to affect real change.
Retail is more than a store; we are an integral part of the fabric of our communities.
