  • Retailers' Environmental Action Programme
    Retailers’ Environmental Action Programme 2011 Annual Report I am delighted to see that the Retail Forum made significant progress in the first three years of its life, by issuing a series of recommendations on how to improve environmental performance and sustainability of the sector. Janez Potočnik European Commissioner for the Environment Foreword Chairmen’s statement Annual Report 2011 Annual Report Retail is acclaimed for its ability to respond to immediate challenges, but also for paving the way to major societal change. The environmental challenges we now face require such a REAP change – from us all. And the retail sector is committed to playing its part. Yet, while individ- ual companies can take measures at company level, global issues must be addressed col- 3 lectively, by all the players along the supply chain. This need for coordinated action was the driving force for the foundation of REAP, the Retailers’ Environmental Action Programme. Through this cooperation, we are determined to drive forward the sustainable consumption and production agenda. Last year, the Retail Forum for Sustainability worked with stakeholders on the issues of timber and timber management, environmental life-cycle information in everyday products and the carbon footprint of stores. We also finalised discussions on marketing and effective communication and how best to apply these principles on labelling. In this second annual report, we give an overview of progress made by REAP members towards the commitments made by both individual companies and federations and the targets set over the past year. These measures aim to increase the availability of environ- mentally friendly products, improve the environmental footprint of company activities and provide consumers with the right information to make more sustainable choices.
