I found this interesting article in a property newsletter and it got me thinking......
Michael Di Russo, an investment director at the Clean Energy Finance Corporation (CEFC), said property investors were now more focused than ever on environmental, social and governance (ESG) targets, identifying sustainability as a “must-have”.
As the retail industry grapples with a major shift in consumer behaviour, shopping centre property owners are focusing on ways to offer improved value for shoppers, tenants and investors.
The influence of Covid-19 on the way customers are shopping means that doing more with less has never been more important—and when that involves reducing energy consumption, there are benefits for both budgets and the environment.
Retail stores across Australia account for some 36 per cent of commercial building energy consumption, and these large infrastructure-like assets with massive floor space and intensive lighting and air-conditioning requirements are typically high energy users.
McKinsey & Co research suggests customers are becoming more deliberate and conscious about their shopping and re-evaluating how they spend their time and money. “We expect retailers to engage with these environmentally and socially conscious shoppers,” Di Russo said. “Harnessing sustainability is an obvious way forward. At the same time, these (retail stores) are contributing to the larger, important task of reducing Australia’s carbon emissions.”
It's not as hard as you might think........
What if you could get excellent quality non-toxic, environmentally friendly products, reduce your family's carbon footprint, and save time and money by making a small change in your shopping habits?
We are all becoming very comfortable with online shopping. Amazon and other online retailers are booming.
Now you can expand your online shopping experience to include:
All your household cleaning needs, eliminating toxic chemicals and poisons from your home;
All your laundry care needs with no nasty fillers and unnecesary chemicals and only eco-friendly (and septic safe) ingredients.
All your personal care products including safe soaps & washes, oral care, hair care, skincare and makeup;
All your vitamins and supplements, including fitness supplements, proven by science to provide superior mineral absorption and minimise free radical damage.
You really can make a positive contribution to reducing plastic, air & water pollution, and protect your family's health, with no sacrifice, and save time and money.
Really!! is there anything to lose?
A big hug, 'til next time,
Cheryl
