Global Retail Executive Council

- sustainable business models, focused on maintainable growth rather than short term profits or volume at the expense of long-term viability
- sustainable relationships with shoppers that maximize both "customer lifetime value" and the long term loyalty consumers have to their favorite retail brands
- sustainable vendor relations, creating the opportunity for both retailer and supplier to profit and grow together
- sustainable community, supporting the local economies where we operate through featuring local products where possible, paying fair wages and giving back to the community, and co-existing in synergy and harmony with residents and other businesses
- sustainable sourcing, respecting both the natural resources required for production and the human labor expended to create the products sold in our stores, exploiting no one but instead using the power of retail and shopping to improve the human condition throughout the world
- sustainable retail operations, reducing the environmental and ecological impact of store and supply chain operations while simultaneously improving the profitability of the retail enterprise
