Robust sustainability reporting presents enormous opportunities for the food retail industry. It enables companies to define their baselines in various sustainability areas and equips them to identify the changes necessary for performance improvements. Profits can be significantly increased when food retail companies report on defined goals, track progress toward those goals, and follow through on associated operational improvements.
