ESG State of the Industry Report

FMI members are focused on making sure that the same transparency and rigor they bring to financial reporting are brought to bear in their ESG reporting. Ratio Institute has created a food retail-focused tool that can help with that process by offering a standardized framework for communicating the metrics, best practices, commitments, and progress on ESG goals that are increasingly important to grocery’s business model.
