Success for Sustainability at Retail Conference

The inaugural Future's So Bright Green Sustainability Conference was held at the Randwick Pavilion, AJC Convention Centre, Randwick Racecourse Sydney on October 22 and attracted close to 300 delegates. According to Tom Harris, the CEO of POPAI Australia & New Zealand, the industry association that organised the conference, said positive feedback was received from delegates on the high quality of the presentations and the broad subject matter covered.

The Conference saw 13 speakers from leading corporations, retail experts and academics, industry associations, and POPAI Australia & New Zealand member companies speak about sustainability initiatives, global best practice, government policy, challenges and opportunities.

POPAI Australia and New Zealand plans to identify successful and cost-effective sustainable practices within the Marketing at Retail industry (which includes Point Of Purchase and In-Store Merchandising) in order to expand and improve upon those activities and encourage all members to adopt similar practices. The association's vision is to provide industry decision makers with insights and strategies to improve their sustainability and environmental performance to meet the consumer demand for more environmentally responsible products.

The Future's So Bright Green Sustainability Conference was an initiative of POPAI Australia and New Zealand, a not-for-profit association aimed at bringing together Retailers, Brands Designers & Producer Suppliers to learn from 'best practice' sharing, and hear and learn about sustainability initiatives .
