AI is reshaping how companies approach ESG - from tracking sustainability metrics and enhancing governance to managing social impact more effectively. But with these opportunities come important questions around ethics, energy use, and data bias.

This whitepaper breaks it down clearly, offering:
๐ŸŸข Key ESG risks and considerations for AI adoption
๐ŸŸข How AI can drive efficiencies, reduce emissions and improve reporting
๐ŸŸข Practical guidance on ethical, responsible deployment
๐ŸŸข Insights on balancing AI adoption with workforce and governance needs

If youโ€™re exploring how AI can amplify your ESG impact - responsibly - this is well worth your time: https://eu1.hubs.ly/H0sJXgH0

๐ŸŒค๏ธ We had a fantastic view of Westminster Abbey from the Queen Elizabeth II Centre to start our time at Sustainability LIVE: The Net Zero Summit last week.

๐Ÿค From there it was straight into two busy days on the summit floor - connecting with sustainability leaders, partners and organisations all working to turn net zero ambition into practical action. It was fantastic to see our team out networking and exchanging ideas across the event.

๐ŸŽค We were also proud to take to the Innovation Stage to talk about how organisations can reduce carbon in product design and development.

๐ŸŒ Last week, we had the privilege of attending Sustainability LIVE: The Net Zero Summit - an inspiring two days of sharp discussions, valuable insights and high-energy networking.

We were thrilled to speak on the Innovation Stage, sharing how we achieved a 60% carbon reduction in the worldโ€™s best-selling bookcase from IKEA, showcasing that bold sustainability goals are possible through everyday products.

A huge thank you to all the speakers, attendees and organisers for creating such a thought-provoking and action-focused event. And, of course, a special shout-out to Punch the Monkey for loaning us her orangutan ๐Ÿฆง

Excited to take these insights forward and continue driving practical solutions for a net zero future. If you share our mission and are interested in sharing notes, please get in touch.

Imagine walking through your stores on a busy day. Every aisle, every counter, every customer movement is telling a storyโ€ฆ but most of the time, those stories go unheard.

If your stores could talk, theyโ€™d tell you:
๐ŸŸ  Where your highest-potential customers are really spending their time
๐ŸŸ  Which areas are quietly overflowing with opportunity
๐ŸŸ  Why some sites are underperforming
๐ŸŸ  How subtle differences in product mix, pricing or messaging could unlock hidden potential

We act as the voice for your stores. Using location and behavioural analytics, we turn hidden signals into clear insights- so you can see where your best opportunities are, who your next customers could be and how to reach them.

What shaped retail in February? A quick monthly summary.

๐Ÿ’ฐ ๐–๐š๐ ๐ž ๐ข๐ง๐Ÿ๐ฅ๐š๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง ๐š๐ง๐ ๐ฅ๐š๐›๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐œ๐จ๐ฌ๐ญ๐ฌ - Retailers including Waitrose, John Lewis, Lidl and Aldi announced significant pay rises, while Ocado cut 1,000 roles to offset rising costs. The sector is split between investing in frontline staff and streamlining headcount through efficiency drives.

๐Ÿค– ๐€๐ฎ๐ญ๐จ๐ฆ๐š๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง ๐š๐ง๐ ๐€๐ˆ ๐š๐œ๐œ๐ž๐ฅ๐ž๐ซ๐š๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง - AI is moving deeper into operations: Asos is training designers in generative AI, conversational search is driving higher conversion rates, and Just Eat launched delivery robot trials. But tech adoption carries reputational risks, as Sainsburyโ€™s facial recognition controversy shows.

Greggs hosted yoga classes for its matcha launch, Topshop returned via John Lewis concessions, and Waitrose launched a sci-fi ad campaign, signalling renewed confidence in storytelling.

Debate over surveillance and facial recognition continues amid aforementioned misidentification incidents.

Retailers are navigating a shifting cost landscape rather than genuine relief.
